Artist-turned-director STEVE MCQUEEN has been awarded the prestigious Camera d'Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his movie debut HUNGER.
Hunger details the final days of Irish Republican Army (IRA) hunger striker Bobby Sands - played by 300 star Michael Fassbender - who died aged 27 in Maze Prison in Belfast, Ireland in 1981.
MCQueen was presented with the award - which honours first-time filmmakers - on Sunday (25May08) by Easy Rider star Dennis Hopper.
