Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement
Film award
Award
The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (Italian : Leone d'oro alla carriera , lit. 'Career Golden Lion') is an award given at the Venice Film Festival . It is awarded to directors, actors and other personalities from the world of cinema who have distinguished themselves in the art. Among the winners are Charlie Chaplin , Manoel de Oliveira , Stanley Kubrick , Alida Valli , Sophia Loren and many other figures of international film.[1] It joins the Golden Lion , the festival's highest prize, which is instead awarded to a film in competition.[2]
The prize was established in 1971.[3] Previously, the equivalent prize was the Omaggio per il complesso dell'opera , awarded in 1969 and 1970.[1] Previously, such tributes were given in the form of retrospectives. The award was not given between 1973 and 1981, nor in 1984.[4] In 1982, there were twelve winners.[1]
