"In their epic- two-part 'Kill Bill'; their twisted re-imagination of World War II in 'Inglourious Basterds', their deconstruction of American myths in 'Django Unchained', their 70mm Western 'The Hateful Eight', and now, their heartbreaking and often uplifting recreation of a Los Angeles on the verge of change in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', Richardson and Tarantino have created detailed, visually evocative stories that serve as reminders of why many of us fell in love with cinema. We are thrilled to welcome them to Torun with this award," festival director Marek Zydowicz said in a statement.
