Wim Wenders (born August 14, 1945 in Düsseldorf) is a German film director, photographer, author and producer. He received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1984 for his movie Paris, Texas, and was awarded honorary doctorates at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1989 and at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium in 2005. He was awarded the Leopard of honour at the Locarno International Film Festival in 2005. Much of the visually stunning cinematography in his movies were as a result of a highly productive collaboration with cinematographer Robby Muller.
