Steve McQueen to Receive Camerimage Outstanding Director Award


'12 Years a Slave' helmer Steve McQueen will be honored at the Camerimage cinematography festival in Poland.

His vivid filmmaking style explores the problems of racism, violence, addiction and inequality, constantly moving and provoking discussion, which situates him as one of the most important contemporary film creators,” said Camerimage festival director Marek Żydowicz. McQueen teamed with cinematographer Yorick Le Saux (2019’s “Little Women”) on his latest film, “Blitz,” which follows George (Elliott Heffernan), a 9-year-old boy whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside during World War II. The director’s credits include anthology series “Small Axe,” which was awarded best picture by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association; and several documentaries such as “Occupied City,” “Uprising” and “Three Minutes: A Lengthening.”
