The French Ministry of Culture has awarded Kapampangan filmmaker BRILLANTE MA. MENDOZA the title Chevalier (Knight) dans l’Ordre des Artes et Lettres for his contribution to arts. He joins the likes of Rudolf Nureyev (1992), George Clooney (2007), and Tim Burton (2010). There are now two Filipinos who were honored such by the French government. The other one is another Kapampangan, AMBETH OCAMPO, who was inducted into the same Ordre des Arts et des Lettres with the higher rank of Officier. Other recipients in this category are Jeanne Moreau (1988), Susannah York (1991) and Danielle Steel (2002). The third and highest rank is Commandeur, where you have the likes of T.S. Eliot (1960), Lillian Gish (1983), Bob Dylan (1990), Vaclav Havel (2001), and Ray Bradbury (2007).
