Sunday, 23rd of July 2023 – Pula, Croatia

In just one month, the Crystal Pine Awards for Lifetime Achievement ceremony & the screening of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ will be celebrated at the Roman Amphitheater in Pula, on one of the biggest screens in Europe, with special guests in attendance.

 

Official announcement:

“ISFMF will deliver Crystal Pine Awards for Lifetime Achievement in both film sound and film music categories, in the magnificent 2000-year-old Roman Amphitheater in Pula (Croatia), to Michael Minkler and Howard Shore. Michael Minkler is a three-time Academy Award winning Sound Re-recording Mixer who has mixed over 275 motion pictures over the last five decades. He was awarded the Oscar for Black Hawk Down, Chicago, and Dreamgirls. He has received many other awards including the Career Achievement Award from the Cinema Audio Society, Three BAFTA Awards for Star Wars, JFK and Chicago. Also two Emmys.

 

It is fair to say that Minkler has collaborated with most of Hollywood’s elite producers and directors. Howard Shore is one of today’s premier composers whose music is performed in concert halls around the world by the most prestigious orchestras and is heard in cinemas across the globe. Shore’s musical interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imaginative world of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as portrayed in the films directed by Peter Jackson, have enthralled people of all generations for years. This work stands as his most acclaimed composition to date awarding him with three Academy Awards, four Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes as well as numerous critic’s and festival awards.

 

Special guest of the evening will be Mark Ulano, a four times Oscar nominee, most recently for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Ad Astra and Inglorious Bastards. His work on Titanic won him an Academy Award for Sound Mixing as well as the Cinema Audio Society Award for Best Sound mixing for a Feature Film. Most recently, his work can be heard on Whitney Houston: I wanna dance with somebody and in 2023 on the new Martin Scorsese spring release: Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio

 

After the awarding ceremony, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the film, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ will be screened on one of the biggest screens in Europe, accompanied with the best sound system for creating a unique experience for the audience.”
