The Festival’s Award for Outstanding Achievements in Documentary Filmmaking will be presented to Polish director Marcel Łoziński.

A short retrospective of Łoziński’s works will be screened and the filmmaker will meet with the festival audience after the films.

Łoziński is one of Poland’s most renowned documentarians and his films include Recipe For Life, The Microphone Test, Anything Can Happen, Poste Restante and Oscar-nominated short 89mm From Europe.

In 2004, Łoziński won the American Cinema Foundation’s Andrzej Wajda Freedom Award.

Camerimage has also announced details of two Photography Exhibitions that will feature in the Festival programme this year.

The exhibition will be be accompanied by the screenings of three short films directed by Miller, starring Malkovich: Malkovich Butterflies, Ecstasy and Allegory of the Cave.

Musician Bryan Adams will also be at Camerimage to present Exposed, a two-part exhibition consisting of a retrospective of 130 portraits of popular culture icons – including Mick Jagger, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse – some of which are being exhibited in public for the first time at the Festival; and a second set, entitled Wounded: The Legacy of War, features photographs of scarred British veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
