PATRICK STEWART
Actor

Patrick Stewart belongs to a rare kind of actors able to bring their charisma and elegance to their screen characters. He has inspired an all generation, enbodying one of the most important heroes on screen, the captain of the Enterprise, Jean-Luc Picard, in Star Trek the Next Generation.

His seductive voice, commanding physical presence, and compelling dramatic gifts have made him a star on stage, on television, and in motion pictures. And he’s had both the luck and the wit to make not one, but two iconic heroes of science fiction and fantasy his own : Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men trilogy, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 177 TV episodes of Star Trek : The Next Generation and its handful of highly successful cinematic follow-ups. If contemporary sci-fi/fantasy has a face (and...well...a skull), it certainly belongs to the formidable Patrick Stewart.

His legions of fans may not be aware, however, that Stewart-an actor from his Yorkshire adolescence-is a renowned Shakespearean (he was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for some three decades), an Emmy and Golden Globe nominee, and a Drama Desk Award winner. He has played Othello and Captain Ahab, Prospero and Ebenezer Scrooge. Perhaps even more significantly for JVA Film Festival-goers, in 2005, he starred as Captain Nemo in a film version of Jules Verne’s Mysterious Island.

Stewart has distinguished himself in other, more private pursuits. He has managed to work with numerous activist organizations, including Amnesty International, where he has established the Patrick Stewart Human Rights Scholarship, awarded to student activists for summer internships and short-term human rights projects ; Doctors Without Borders ; and the Ocean Alliance, an organization whose mission-the conservation of whales and their ocean environment-dovetails perfectly with that of Jules Verne Adventures.

JANE GOODALL
DBE, PhD, Primatologist, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, UN Messenger of Peace

Honoree at the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival, October 6th, 2006

Jane Goodall began her landmark study of chimpanzees in Tanzania in June 1960, under the mentorship of anthropologist and paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey. Her work at the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve would become the foundation of future primatological research and redefine the relationship between humans and animals.

In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which continues the Gombe research and is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. The Institute also is widely recognized for establishing innovative, community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, and the Roots & Shoots education program in more than 80 countries.

Dr. Goodall travels an average 300 days per year, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees, other environmental crises, and her reasons for hope that humankind will solve the problems it has imposed on the earth. She continually urges her audiences to recognize their personal responsibility and ability to effect change through consumer action, lifestyle change and activism.

Dr. Goodall’s scores of honors include the Medal of Tanzania, the National Geographic Society’s Hubbard Medal, Japan’s prestigious Kyoto Prize, the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research 2003, the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Life Science, and the Gandhi/King Award for Nonviolence. In April 2002 Secretary-General Annan named Dr. Goodall a United Nations "Messenger of Peace." In 2003, Queen Elizabeth II named Dr. Goodall a Dame of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II, the equivalent of knighthood. In 2006, French President Chirac presented her with the Légion d’Honneur, France’s highest award.

Her list of publications includes two overviews of her work at Gombe - In the Shadow of Man and Through a Window - as well as two autobiographies in letters, the spiritual autobiography Reasons for Hope and many children’s books. The Chimpanzees of Gombe : Patterns of Behavior is the definitive scientific work on chimpanzees and is the culmination of Jane Goodall’s scientific career. She has been the subject of numerous television documentaries and is featured in the large-screen format film, Jane Goodall’s Wild Chimpanzees (2002).

Her first film with Discovery Communications for Animal Planet, Jane Goodall’s Return to Gombe, aired in the U.S. March 8, 2004. It was premiered in Europe at the Festival du Film Jules Verne Aventures, March 12, 2004, and introduced by Dr. Jane Goodall, in the occasion of this exceptional meeting with the audience.

On October 6, at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, the First Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival proudly welcomes and presents Dame Jane Goodall with a Jules Verne Life Achievement Award.

HARRISON FORD
Actor, Environmentalist, Academy Award Nominee

Honoree at the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival, October 6th, 2006

Harrison Ford’s father was Irish, his mother Russian-Jewish. He was a lackluster student at Maine Township High School East in Park Ridge Illinois. After dropping out of Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he did some acting and later summer stock, he signed a Hollywood contract with Columbia and later Universal. His roles in movies and TV ("Ironside" in 1967, "The Virginian" in 1962) remained secondary and, discouraged, he turned to a career in professional carpentry. He came back big four years later, however, as Bob Falfa in George Lucas’ American Graffiti (1973).

From Star Wars to stardom
Four years after that, he reached colossal fame with the role of Han Solo in George Lucas’ legendary Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope (1977). Another four years and Ford was Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Still another four years and he received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for his role as John Book in Witness (1985). All he managed four years after that was his third starring success as Indiana Jones. In fact, many of his earlier successful roles led to sequels as did his more recent portrayal of Jack Ryan in Patriot Games (1992). Another Golden Globe nomination came his way for the part of Dr. Richard Kimble in The Fugitive (1993). Ford has also been the star of many high grossing Hollywood blockbusters such as Air Force One which have distanced him from his famous Star Wars and Indiana Jones roles.

A real-life adventurer
Harrison Ford is also a real-life adventurer : he is an experienced pilot of both planes and helicopters. He also maintains an 800-acre ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, approximately half of which he has donated as a nature reserve. On several occasions, he has personally provided emergency helicopter services at the behest of local authorities, in one instance rescuing a hiker overcome by dehydration. He is the current Chairman of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles program. Very close to nature and concerned with environmental problems, Harrison Ford is an Honorary Chair of the Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation. It includes a US$100,000 cash award and the Lilly Medal, which are presented every two years to a conservationist who has made substantial contributions toward the sustainability of an animal species or group of species.

The first Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival is proud to pay tribute to his tremendous career as an actor and to salute his commitment in Environmental Conservation by presenting him with the Jules Verne Award - Spirit of Nature.
