Academy Award-winner Quentin Tarantino, whose film Pulp Fiction won the 1994 Palme D'Or at Cannes, now adds the Ray-Ban Visionary Award to his list of accolades.

Tarantino's 1992 Sundance debut of Reservoir Dogs announced him as a new and singular talent in the world of cinema and he has since made good on that early promise. His ensuing films, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Kill Bill were both controversial and critically-lauded and have galvanized and electrified audiences.

The Ray-Ban Visionary Award recognizes the work and dedication of individuals who possess extraordinary passion, creativity and leadership, and whose work showcases vision, imagination and originality. Past winners include Aaron Eckhart, Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Colin Callender, President of HBO Films and Mark Ordesky, EVP/COO New Line Productions and President of Fine Line Features.
