Speaking on the announcement of the award yesterday, Greengrass said: “I’m honoured and thrilled to receive the 2017 BFI Fellowship. The BFI does an extraordinary job, leading our industry both nationally and internationally. It is a beacon of excellence, and most importantly an imaginative and committed champion of new talent. On a personal level, I’m particularly touched, as the BFI has always supported my career and Bloody Sunday was financed through the National Lottery 15 years ago. Like so many people in our industry, I owe this wonderful organisation an enormous debt.”

 

With his achievement Greengrass joins a host of award winners from recent years, including some of the industry’s greatest names such as Steve McQueen, Cate Blanchett, Stephen Frears, Sir Christopher Lee, Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter, David Cronenberg, Ralph Fiennes and Peter Morgan.
