Oliver Stone in conversation with Mihai Chirilov

Oliver Stone has won three Academy Awards, two for directing Platoon (1986) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and one for screenplay for Midnight Express (r. Alan Parker, 1979). A polarizing figure, Stone established himself as one of Hollywood's most important directors of the 1980s and 1990s, who "presented American history in a uniquely provocative and entertaining way" (David Parkinson, British Film Institute).

Oliver Stone will be honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at TIFF.22.
