Emir Kusturica, independent film-maker, writer, and director, has been awarded this year's Phillipe Rotthier Prize for Architecture for Reconstruction of the European City.
Emir Kusturica, the famous independent film-maker, writer and director of "Time Of The Gypsies", "When Father Was Away On Business" and "Life Is A Miracle", has been awarded this year's Phillipe Rotthier Prize for Architecture for Reconstruction of the European City. The prize, awarded every three years, is given to the architect -- or film-maker -- who is judged to have made the greatest contribution to the reconstruction of historic cities and towns in Europe. Kusturica received his Rotthier in recognition of his recreation of a traditional wooden village in his home country of Serbia, a country torn by war in the 1990s but now peaceful again.
