Roman Polanski To Collect Festival Honor In Zurich
Director Roman Polanski is to collect a career honour at the Zurich Film Festival, two years after his arrest in the city on child sex charges.
Organisers say the 78-year-old will attend the gala to receive his award which he was set to pick up in 2009.
Swiss police arrested Polanski on his arrival in the country over his 1977 US conviction for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
He was held for 10 months before Swiss courts decided not to extradite him.
The tribute ceremony to present Polanski with his lifetime achievement award is due to be held on 27 September.
Directors of the Zurich Film Festival, Karl Spoerri and Nadja Schildknecht, said: "We are especially proud to welcome Roman Polanski this year to receive his award.
"We have always been tremendous admirers of his work and we are delighted that we will soon be able to express this to him in person," they added.
The Zurich Film Festival is taking place from 22 September to 2 October.

Has Samantha Geimer been invited to honor his “achievements”?
“Festival Honor In Zurich.”
I hope it is being held at the local gallows pole.
With two grown daughters, if he has done this to either one of them, the pole I shoved up his @$$ would knock his teeth out.

I hope this award is just luring him back to get arrested for something else.
I would LAUGH !
They make it sound only horrific. It's much worse than that.
He drugged and anally raped a 13-year-old girl. But liberals will tell you she wanted it.
Wonder if he is stupid or vain enough to collect it himself? No fool like an old fool.
The celebration of wicked people and wickedness is becoming almost biblical in its scope!
That’s what I’m thinking. Is the old roue so stupid as to pick up this award? Here we go again!
In my be Church Lady voice, “Isn’t that special.”
More awards for the pervert Roman Polanski. When will this disgusting rapist and sodomite finally assume room temperature and take the Big Dirt Nap?
