US-American director, screenwriter and producer Oliver Stone receives this year’s B3 BEN Award in the category Lifetime Achievement. The three-time Academy Award winner has written and directed over 20 feature films, including some of the most influential and iconic films of recent decades, among them “Platoon” (1986) “Natural Born Killers” (1994) or “Snowden” (2016).

Filmmaker and writer Hito Steyerl (*1966) is this year’s recipient of the Honorary BEN Award in the category Art. Her work includes texts, performances, multimedia installations and essayistic documentaries in which she deals with postcolonial critique, feminist representational logic and the influences of globalization on the financial, labor and commodity markets. She is considered one of the most socially critical and very political artists of our time.
