STOCKHOLM — Actress Charlotte Rampling and director Wong Kar-wai will receive awards for their contributions to modern cinema at the Stockholm International Film Festival.

Rampling will receive the lifetime achievement award for her "impressive portrayals of some of the most memorable female characters in modern cinema," the festival said Wednesday.

Wong will be honored with the visionary award for "capturing the beauty of the fleeting moment on the silver screen."

The festival opens Nov. 20.

Rampling's screen credits include 1974's "The Night Porter." Wong directed the 2000 film "In the Mood for Love" and the sequel "2046."
