Tom Luddy honored at American Cinematheque

Telluride Film Festival Co-founder and Co-Director Tom Luddy received the second annual Sydney Pollack Award on March 27, 2010 at "Hollywood Salutes Matt Damon: An American Cinematheque Tribute."


“The Sydney Pollack Award honors someone who has been of critical importance and continuing influence in non-profit film exhibition, film preservation and/or independent film distribution - people whose work Sydney supported and found to be so valuable, who are not often recognized for their efforts,” states the Cinematheque.
