Paul Greengrass Honored At London Film FestivalWednesday, October 31--------Truth be told, I left the London Film Festival on Monday morning, October 29th (also my birthday in case anyone wants to send me a belated box of chocolates). So, unfortunately, I missed an event that I truly wanted to cover. But through the art of the press release, I am able to report that on that same Monday evening (when I was blowing out I won't tell you how many candles), the Times BFI London Film Festival along with trade publication Variety presented the 2007 UK Achievement in Film Award to director Paul Greengrass. There is perhaps no film career in the world that has blazed quite as hot quite as quickly as this year's honoree. In a span of just five years, he has moved from local celebrity with his work on British television to a sizzling hot career in Hollywood, as the Oscar-nominated director of last year's UNITED 93 and the heir apparent to the highly successful Jason Bourne trilogy. THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004) and THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007) have been hailed by international film critics as the most exciting and intelligent action series since James Bond. Paul Greengrass started his filmmaking career with a super 8 camera he found in his art room in secondary school. The short movies he made were animation horror films, using old dolls, artist dummies, and the general art room clutter. After studying at Cambridge University, he got into the prestigious Granada Television School and spent the first ten years of his career roving global hot spots for the hard-hitting documentary series, World in Action.
