The first Rutger Hauer Award is presented to Paul Verhoeven | NOW

The very first Rutger Hauer Award will be presented to director Paul Verhoeven during Shortcutz Amsterdam, the film festival announced on Wednesday.

The Rutger Hauer Award was created to honor the actor Rutger Hauer, who died in 2019. The prize will be awarded annually to a person or institution that is seen as a source of inspiration by young filmmakers.

Paul Verhoeven worked frequently with Hauer during his long career. That started in 1969 with the television series directed by Verhoeven Floris, in which Hauer played the leading role. Hauer also played in a number of Verhoeven’s biggest film hits, including Soldier of Orange and Turkish fruit.

The prize will be awarded on January 19 by Hauer’s widow Ineke Hauer-Ten Cate. She does this during an event in the Eye Film Museum in Amsterdam.
