FILM FESTIVAL NEWS: The Dallas Film Society will honor Academy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Benton at The Art of Film the day before Opening Night of DIFF – Film Fest also announces a salute to films of 1967
James Faust, Artistic Director of the Dallas Film Society, said, “Robert Benton is both an award-winning director and writer as well as a Texas treasure, who has been responsible for some of the most beloved film classics of the past five decades both through his director’s vision and his words placed on the page. The fact that he co-wrote BONNIE AND CLYDE, which was part of the hallowed film class of 1967, makes this a wonderful time to honor him with our Dallas Star Award.”
