Director Wim Wenders was given Tuesday evening a lifetime achievement award at a special ceremony in the National Palace of Culture in Sofia.

The legendary director, who arrived in Bulgaria for the eleventh edition of Sofia Film Fest, was awarded by the Capital's Municipality.

Starting February 22, Bulgarians had a whole month to see 21 of Wenders' movies that offer a refreshing change from Hollywood style blockbusters.

Along with the movies, Wenders' other sides have been shown to the audience with an exhibition of photos by him and his wife Donata. His book "A Sence of Place" was also published in Bulgaria to add another dimension to the festival.
