The wait is over… we can finally reveal the recipient of the Honorary Golden Bear 2025!
The 75th Berlin International Film Festival will award Scottish actor Tilda Swinton the Honorary Golden Bear for her lifetime achievement. The award will be presented at the Opening Ceremony at the Berlinale Palast on February 13, 2025.
The Academy Award-winning actor is by no means a stranger to the festival. She served as the President of the International Jury in 2009 and starred in 26 films in the festival programme. Her very first film, “Caravaggio“, won the Silver Bear at the 1986 Berlinale.
“The range of Tilda Swinton’s work is breathtaking. To cinema she brings so much humanity, compassion, intelligence, humour and style, and she expands our ideas of the world through her work. Tilda is one of our modern filmmaking idols, and has also long been part of the Berlinale family. We are delighted to be able to present her with this Honorary Golden Bear,” says Festival Director Tricia Tuttle.
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Berlinale, the festival honors an extraordinary personality and an icon of the big screen with the Honorary Golden Bear.
Congratulations!
