Luca Guadagnino will receive the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. The presentation is set for September 8. His new documentary, "Joie de vivre," screens out of competition the same evening.
The award recognizes "a personality who has made a particularly original contribution to the contemporary film industry," according to the festival. Director Alberto Barbera cited Guadagnino's "creative freedom" and "recognizable voice" across diverse genres.
Venice has been central to Guadagnino's career. He won the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 2022 festival for "Bones and All" and has since returned with "Queer" and "After the Hunt." His 2017 film "Call Me by Your Name" received an Oscar nomination for best picture.
"To be honored for one's craft or life as a filmmaker is an ambition that no one who makes films could ever presume to imagine achieving — especially by joining a group of filmmakers who have received this prestigious honor before me and to whom I owe so much of my development," Guadagnino said in a statement.
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival runs September 2 through 12. The competition jury is led by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
