STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Hollywood filmmaker Wes Anderson has been chosen to receive a major award at the Stockholm Film Festival, The Local reported Wednesday.
Anderson's films include "Rushmore," "The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" and "The Darjeeling Limited."
The writer-director is to visit Sweden next month to pick up his Stockholm Visionary Award, festival organizers announced Wednesday.
"Wes Anderson receives the Stockholm Visionary Award for his humane and humoristic portraits of solitary human beings. In his films, he creates unique and stylized universes inhabited by characters searching for something to search for," a representative for the film festival said.
A special screening of his latest film "The Darjeeling Limited," starring Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Anderson's frequent collaborator Owen Wilson will be also shown at the festival.
