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.
