Academy Award winning writer/director Oliver Stone will be honored at the 22nd Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF), taking place November 14 to 24, 2013. Stone will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award on Friday, November 22, 2013. Directors who have previously been honored with a SLIFF Lifetime Achievement Award include Paul Schrader, John Sayles, Michael Apted, and Joe Dante.

Held on the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the program will feature a screening of the director’s cut of Stone’s “JFK.” The evening will begin with a clip reel surveying Stone’s career, the presentation of the award, and a conversation between Stone and St. Louis Post-Dispatch film critic Joe Williams that explores the director’s career generally and “JFK” specifically. At the conclusion of the interview, Stone will introduce a Kennedy-focused segment from his most recent work, “The Untold History of theUnited States,” and “JFK” will screen after the excerpt.
