Ciarán Hinds will receive the Volta award tomorrow
The Volta is the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF) Career Achievement Award, and this year the festival is delighted to recognise the outstanding acting talent of Ciarán Hinds, Patricia Clarkson and Kristin Scott Thomas. The Volta awards are named after Ireland’s first dedicated cinema, the Volta Picture Theatre, which was located on Mary Street in Dublin and was established by James Joyce in 1909. Each year, the festival organisers identify key members of the international filmmaking community whose work has been admired and whose contribution to world cinema deserves to be celebrated.
Festival Director Gráinne Humphreys commented: “This year, we have three of the world’s greatest screen actors accepting the Volta Award. Equally comfortable on stage and screen, all three honourees move effortlessly between charismatic leading roles and scene stealing supporting turns, they light up the screen in every role. It is a huge honour to welcome Ciarán Hinds, Patricia Clarkson and Kristin Scott Thomas to the festival to present their new films and to accept our festival tribute.”
Ciarán Hinds will receive the award at the end of the screening of Life During Wartime on Saturday 20th February.
