We’re excited to announce that Emma Thompson will receive Locarno78’s Leopard Club Award on the night of August 8, on the occasion of the premiere of the much anticipated thriller The Dead of Winter by Brian Kirk.
Academy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award-winning, Thompson is one of the UK’s most recognizable and beloved actors, with a career in acting, writing, and producing that spans both television and film – from independent features to major blockbusters.
We look forward to honoring the talent of this artist who has moved us, made us think, entertained us, and – most importantly – never ceased to surprise us.
