"The Berlinale is the first film festival I ever went to, in 1986 with Derek Jarman and the first film I made, his Caravaggio," said Swinton in a statement, adding,"It was my portal into the world in which I have made my life's work - the world of international filmmaking - and I have never forgotten the debt I owe it. To be honored in this way by this particular festival is deeply touching for me: it will be my privilege and pleasure to celebrate, once more next February, the seedbed that is this wide-eyed and reliably wonderful gathering," as per The Hollywood Reporter.
