Spielberg set for top film honour

STEVEN Spielberg is to be honoured at the Berlin International Film Festival in February for his life’s work.

Festival organisers said on Tuesday that the 75-year-old American director will be awarded an honorary Golden Bear, the annual event’s top prize, for a body of work that comprises more than 100 movies and series.

The multiple Oscar winner’s work “is unique in the history of international cinema of the past 60 years for its immense variety”, the festival said.

The Berlin festival will also screen his latest film, The Fabelmans.
