“Conversation with” at the 20th Marrakech IFF, interview with actor Willem Dafoe Bénédicte Prot
The Board of the Biennale di Venezia announced that they had awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement to iconic American actress and three-time Academy Award nominee Sigourney Weaver at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, which will take place from August 28 to September 7, 2024.
Sigourney Weaver, renowned for her roles in Alien, Gorillas in the Mist, Ghostbusters, Master Gardener, and The Year of Living Dangerously, has been a transformative figure in cinema, and she is celebrated for her powerful performances and ability to transcend genre boundaries. Weaver’s acceptance of the award reflects her gratitude towards her collaborators and the filmmaking community:
“I am truly honored to receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement from La Biennale di Venezia. To be gifted this award is a privilege I share with all the filmmakers and collaborators I have worked with throughout the years. I proudly accept this award in celebration of all who have helped bring these films to life.”
Alberto Barbera, the Venice International Film Festival Director, lauded Weaver’s contribution to cinema, emphasizing her significant impact on the industry:
“An actress of the caliber of Sigourney Weaver has few rivals. Strengthened by her significant theatrical training, she won over the great film-going public with Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, soon becoming an emblematic figure of the 1980s. During the course of that decade, she forged the image of a heroine unprecedented in the action film genre, able to victoriously rival the male models who, up to that point, had dominated epic and adventure movies. Not satisfied with having blazed the trail for powerful female actors, the actress ceaselessly continued her search for a personal identity. She constantly challenged her persona through choices that ranged from genre movies to comedies, art-house films, and children’s movies, side-stepping labels that sought to restrict her to the role of a triumphant icon of the Reagan era. As an authentic collaborator, rather than simply a malleable instrument in the hands of a director, she has contributed to the success of movies by James Cameron, Paul Schrader, Peter Weir, Michael Apted, Roman Polanski, Ivan Reitman, Mike Nichols, Ang Lee, and many others, each time imposing the mark of a complex personality — at times contradictory but always authentic — onto her own charismatic presence. Endowed with a remarkable temperament, able to move with delicacy yet without fragility, she has created the image of a woman who is self-assured and determined, dynamic and resolute; at the same time, with endlessly different shadings, she allows her intensely magnetic, feminine sensitivity to filter through. The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement is just recognition for a star who has built bridges between the most sophisticated art-house cinema and movies that engage with the public in a frank and original way, all the while remaining true to herself.”
Sigourney Weaver‘s illustrious career spans decades and genres, from her groundbreaking role as Ellen Ripley in the Alien franchise to her award-winning portrayal of Dian Fossey in Gorillas in the Mist.
Born and educated in New York City, Weaver graduated from Stanford University and later received a master’s from Yale School of Drama. Her extensive filmography includes critically acclaimed performances in films such as The Ice Storm, Galaxy Quest, Avatar, and the recent Avatar: The Way of Water.
Sigourney Weaver continues to captivate audiences and shows no signs of slowing down. Her upcoming projects include the black comedy Dust Bunny with Mads Mikkelsen and The Gorge with Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The full lineup of the 81st Venice International Film Festival will be announced on July 23. Stay tuned for more updates on this prestigious event.
