BOSTON, Mass.—On Sun., March 18, the Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film will honor legendary Canadian director Atom Egoyan during its 18th Annual Chlotrudis Awards ceremony at the historic Brattle Theatre in Cambridge.
Egoyan will be in attendance to accept the Hall of Fame Award celebrating his achievements as a filmmaker. The show begins at 5 p.m. To purchase tickets ($20; or $15 for Chlotrudis and Brattle members), visit www.brattlefilm.org or visit the box office.
Atom Egoyan has been exploring the how’s and why’s of truth, identity, memory, fidelity, and loss through the medium of film for over three decades. After garnering several Chlotrudis nominations, including a Best Movie and Best Director nod for “The Sweet Hereafter” in 1998, Egoyan was honored with a special directing award by the Society. Often heralded for
his unique visual style, his later films, “Where the Truth Lies” and “Chloe,” have received Chlotrudis nods for Best Visual Design and Best Cinematography, respectively. Egoyan’s films tackle difficult subjects, and “Ararat,” one of his most epic films, showed up on several Chlotrudis members’ top films of the year lists for 2002.
Egoyan has won numerous awards, including five at the Cannes Film Festival, two Academy Award nominations, and eight Genie Awards; has presided over film fest juries at Cannes, Berlin, and Venice; and has sat on other juries at Sundance, Toronto, and Tribeca, among others. Joining Egoyan in the weekend’s celebration will be his wife, actress Arsinee Khanjian.
The Brattle Theater will screen several of Egoyan’s best-loved films over the same weekend, among them “The Sweet Hereafter,” “Next of Kin” and “Exotica.” Following the Saturday screening of “Adoration,” Egoyan will participate in a Q&A session.
The Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film is a Boston-based non-profit group that teaches people to view film actively and experience the world through independent film, while encouraging discussion. The group works with film festivals, local art-houses and theatres, production companies, directors, and actors to bring creative, quality films to the attention of
