Los Angeles, July 21 Filmmaker Tim Burton, who is known for his gothic fantasy films, will soon add 14th Lumiere Award to his collection. The 'Edward Scissorhands' director will receive the honour at the Lumiere Festival, which celebrates heritage movies and film masters.The festival will be held in Lyon, France, in October, reports Variety.

He cultivates his craft, delving into the gothic and baroque, comedy, horror, romanticism or works tinged with melancholy."Burton will be in Lyon from October 20 to October 23. As part of the tribute, which will take place on October 21, Burton's iconic movies will screen, from 'Beetlejuice' to 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Big Fish' and 'Alice in Wonderland'.The Lumiere Award was created in 2009 by the Institut Lumiere, which is headed by Fremaux and presided over by Irene Jacob who succeeded the late French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier last year.The festival, which takes place in Lyon, the birthplace of the Lumiere Cinematograph, hosts screenings of classic films, restored prints, discoveries and master classes. Last year's edition was attended by Paolo Sorrentino, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos, Valeria Golino, Joachim Trier, Rossy de Palma and Melanie Laurent, among others.
