ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer is being honored by the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York, for his work with such Hollywood icons as Francis Ford Coppola and Warren Beatty.
Vittorio Stararo will be presented with the George Eastman Award during a ceremony Saturday night at the museum’s Dryden Theater.
The 76-year-old native of Rome, Italy, won Oscars for Coppola’s 1979 film “Apocalypse Now”; the Beatty-directed 1981 movie “Reds”; and Bernardo Bertolucci’s “The Last Emperor” in 1987.
On Friday night, Stararo will provide the introduction to a screening of “Apocalypse Now Redux,” Coppola’s re-edited version of his epic. Saturday night’s festivities includes a conversation with Storaro and a screening of a rare 35mm print of “Dick Tracy,” the 1990 film Beatty also directed and starred in.
