Menahem Golan, chairman of the board of Cannon Entertainment, has been selected to receive an award from the Israeli Union of Performing Artists honoring his work as a director and producer of motion pictures. Golan, who took the helm at Cannon in 1979, will be saluted at a March 15 celebration (marking the Israeli group’s 10th anniversary) in Jaffa, Israel. Golan recently directed Raul Julia in Cannon’s upcoming “Mack the Knife,” (based on “The Threepenny Opera”). His other directorial efforts include “Hanna’s War,” starring Ellen Burstyn and Maruschka Detmers.
