Roman Polanski has finally been able to collect his lifetime achievement award from the Zurich film festival – two years after it was awarded.
He was on his way to the event in 2009 when he was arrested at Zurich airport and placed under house arrest in Switzerland, as the US tried to get him extradited to face charges of unlawful sex with a thirteen year old girl in 1977.
Switzerland eventually refused to comply with the extradition request, and Polanski was released, although his movements are still limited. He is still wanted in the US, having fled to France after pleading guilty to a lesser charge. He can only now travel to countries that do not hold extradition agreements with the States.
There was a huge outcry from some of the most prominent members of the cinematic community at the time of his arrest.
