Agnieszka Holland for the 2023 Career Achievement award. LAFCA’s awards honoring the year’s best achievements in filmmaking will be decided on Dec. 10.
Alongside Holland, the winners will be honored at the awards event on Jan. 13. “Few directors have been as fearlessly confrontational with their historical gaze as Agnieszka Holland has across decades, and we’re thrilled to honor her this year,” said LAFCA president Robert Abele in a statement.
“With moral clarity, deep empathy and invigorating filmmaking, her work lays bare the damage that oppressive regimes and sociopolitical conflicts wreak on everyday souls. At a time of increasing worldwide unrest, with authoritarianism on the rise, Holland’s fiercely humane films remind us history isn’t entirely behind us, and that a vibrantly political cinema is more vital now than ever.” Holland’s Oscar-nominated films include Holocaust dramas “Angry Harvest,” “Europa Europa” and “In Darkness.” Gravitas Ventures Acquires Environmental Thriller ‘Liberty’ for November Release Gravitas Ventures has acquired the environmental animal-rights thriller “Liberty,” which will be released digitally on Nov. 21.
