The Sarajevo Film Festival will honour two-time Oscar-winning US actor and producer Robert De Niro with a lifetime achievement award on its opening night on Friday.
“We are honoured to have Robert De Niro as the first recipient of the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo – Lifetime Achievement Award,” director Mirsad Purivatra said in a statement on Monday.
De Niro will present Martin Scorsese’s digitally-restored film Taxi Driver in which he starred, in honour of its 40th anniversary, the statement said.
