Each year we hand Golden Keys to artists shaping the medium — past honorees include Billy Connolly, Ondi Timoner, and Deborah L. Scott. This year's recipients will be announced ahead of the festival.
Each year the festival hands Golden Keys to artists who have shaped the medium — performers, directors, designers, and documentarians whose work keeps changing what a film can do.
Past honorees include Billy Connolly, Ondi Timoner, and Oscar-winning costume designer Deborah L. Scott, each celebrated with an on-stage conversation and a screening chosen from their body of work.
"This year's recipients will be announced ahead of the festival, with the awards evening anchoring the middle of the week."
