Steven Spielberg, the renowned American director, was honored with the prestigious Golden Bear Lifetime Achievement Award at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival. The award ceremony marked a milestone in the filmmaker's illustrious career and underlined his lasting impact on the film industry.
Spielberg's Reflection on Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award
While accepting the award, Spielberg shared his thoughts on the possibility of making new films, even at the age of 76, and revealed new details about his upcoming projects.
The director stated, "I also feel a little alarmed to be told I’ve lived a lifetime because I’m not finished, I want to keep working. I want to keep learning and discovering and scaring the shit out of myself and sometimes the shit out of you.
I gotta get back to some of those earlier scarier movies, but that’s another story for later on. As long as there’s joy in it for me, and as long as my audience can find joy and other human values in my films, I’m reluctant to ever say that’s a wrap."
A Jewish Director's Homecoming in Germany
The award holds a special significance for Spielberg, as a Jewish director.
He reflected, "If this honor means that my work has found a home in Germany, then tonight, I feel like I’m home too. This honor has particular meaning for me because I’m a Jewish director. I’d like to believe that this is a small moment in a much larger, ongoing effort of healing the broken places of history – what Jews call Tikkun Olam, the repairing and restoring of the world."
