Wim Wenders gave a speech in honor of Walter Salles

On Saturday, October 18, Wim Wenders gave a speech in honor of Walter Salles and presented him with the Academy Museum Gala Luminary Award.
The award celebrates filmmakers whose work has deeply influenced cinema – opening new paths, inspiring others, and shaping how we see and tell stories on screen.
Walter’s films have done exactly that.
A heartfelt congratulations from Wim to Walter – and to the stories still to come.
