Knights Of The Order Of The RavenThe idea came up during a round-table. The quest started with a sip of wine from the HolyGrail: how could we possibly salute the essential contribution of creation craftsmen to themovie industry without the poisoned gift of the retrospective, which would sound as if theywere heading for an early grave? By knighting them, of course! The best way for theBIFFF to thank them is seeing how these stable boys become proud knights during aceremony with lots of humor and zero pretence.Laureates2005Larry Cohen (screenwriter) : Maniac Cop, Le retour des sept, Captivity, Phone Game.Dario Argento (director/screenwriter) : Profondo Rosso, Suspiria, Stendhal Syndrome.2007Christopher Lloyd (actor) : Retour vers le futur I, II, III, La famille Adams I, II.Lloyd Kaufman (actor/director) : Tromeo et Juliette, The Toxic Avenger.2008Jurgen Prochnow (actor) : Das Boot, Dune, In the mouth of madness, Air force one.Stuart Gordon (director/screenwriter): Re-animator, Fortress, the Dentist, Stuck.2010Harry Kumel (director/screenwriter): Malpertuis, Les Lèvres RougesLuc Besson (director/screenwriter) : Le Grand Bleu, Léon, Le Cinquième Element2011Alexandre AjaAlexandre Aja begins at the BIFFF with Furia in 1999, following byimpressive successes with High Tension in 2003, The Hills Have Eyesand lately Piranha 3D.
