Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan to receive BFI fellowship

Director behind Dunkirk, Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy awarded honour for ‘pushing limits’ of cinema

Christopher Nolan, the film director behind movies including Oppenheimer, Dunkirk and Interstellar, is to be awarded a BFI fellowship for “constantly pushing the limits” of cinema.

The honour, which is often awarded to actors and film-makers towards the end of their careers, will go to Nolan at what appears to be the peak of his.
