Working in the English language, Greenaway has moved across these forms without settling into any single one, and his practice as a visual artist sits alongside his work behind and occasionally in front of the camera. The breadth of that activity was acknowledged through a number of awards, among them the Sutherland Trophy, the Golden Calf for Best Script, the Sitges Film Festival Best Director award, and the Time Machine Award — honours arriving from different national and institutional contexts over the course of his working life.\n\nGreenaway also received two distinctions that speak specifically to his place within British cultural life: appointment as Commander of the Order of the British Empire and the BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award. The BAFTA honour, in particular, represents a formal recognition by one of the principal bodies of the British film industry of a career that has extended across cinema, television, theatre, painting, and opera.","Born on 5 April 1942 in Newport, Peter Greenaway holds United Kingdom citizenship and received his education first at Forest School and then at Walthamstow College of Art, a sequence that moved him from secondary schooling into a formal grounding in the arts before his career began to take shape.","peter-greenaway",null,[14,18],{"tag_id":15,"tag_name":16,"tag_count":17},56,"thinking",17,{"tag_id":19,"tag_name":20,"tag_count":21},326,"men",6,{"quotes":23,"pagination":86},[24,32,38,44,50,56,62,68,74,80],{"id":25,"quote_text":26,"author_id":5,"source_id":27,"has_image":28,"author":29,"source":30,"quote_tag":31,"commentary":12},3878737,"I think there is no future whatsoever in 3D.
