Joel Edgerton will be awarded the Camerimage Film Festival’s Actor’s Award during this year’s event, which will run from 15 Nov to 22 Nov.
Born in Blacktown, New South Wales, Edgerton’s career began on the stage. His first on-screen performance was on TV. He starred in the Aussie series The Secret Life of Us, for which he landed his first AACTA Award for Best Actor in a Television Drama. In 2010, Edgerton starred in David Michôd’s Animal Kingdom. His Hollywood breakout was George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels.
Edgerton can next be found in Netflix’s Train Dreams. Based on Denis Johnson’s novella, Train Dreams is described as a moving portrait of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly changing America of the early 20th Century. The film will be in select theaters from November 7 and on Netflix on November 21.
Camerimage takes place in Torun, Poland. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, shot by cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, is among the festival’s official lineup. Other titles set to screen include Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, shot by Polish cinematographer Łukasz Żal, and Mascha Schilinski’s Sound of Falling. Elsewhere, Cate Blanchett will travel to the festival, where she will receive the event’s Icon Award. Blanchett will be handed the award at the festival’s closing ceremony.
Anemone, Daniel Day-Lewis’s return to acting, will open the festival.
