Evolution Mallorca International Film Fest (EMIFF), an essential event in Mallorca for international cinema, announced that this year’s Evolution ICON Award will be presented to Annette Bening, one of the most notable American actresses who has two Golden Globes, a BAFTA Award, two Tony Awards and five Oscar nominations.
In the words of the director of the EMIFF, Sandra Lipski “Annette Bening is a legendary actress, the paradigm of the Evolution ICON Award and we are very excited to receive her in Palma in October to pay tribute to her body of work. We want to give him the best of welcome on the island and that the attendees feel inspired by his work and incessant and restless talent”.
This award – which in previous years has been awarded to international stars such as Isabel Coixet, Marjane Strapi, Danny DeVito or Ana de Armas – will be collected by Annette Bening at the EMIFF Opening Gala, held in Palma on October 30, and aims to be a recognition of the impressive career of the actress, which spans more than 40 years of career. At the same gala, the actress, known among other roles for her performance in American Beauty, will present and comment on Stephen Frear’s classic film, The Grifters , for which she received the first Oscar nomination in 1990.
Annette Bening has conveyed her excitement for her upcoming visit to Mallorca: “I am extremely proud and honoured by this recognition from the Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival. I look forward to visiting Mallorca this October and enjoying the festival and the city. Thank you EMIFF for this wonderful honour!”
