Oscar winning filmmakers Pedro Almodóvar and Spike Lee are getting feted at this year’s TIFF Tribute Awards
Almodóvar will receive the Jeff Skoll Award in Impact Media presented by Participant, while Lee will be bestowed with the TIFF Ebert Director Award. The fifth annual Tribute Awards ceremony presented by Bulgari will take place on Sunday, Sept. 10 during the 48th edition of the fest at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.
The TIFF Tribute Awards in its short run have already served as an awards-season bellwether, with past honourees including Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Chastain, Roger Deakins, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Joaquin Phoenix, Taika Waititi, and Chloé Zhao who all went on to receive Oscar wins. “It’s a true thrill to acknowledge Pedro Almodóvar as the distinguished recipient of the Jeff Skoll Impact Media Award for 2023,” stated TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey. “Pedro has been coming to TIFF for years and each time is better than the time before. His artistic vision, bold storytelling, and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of cinema have had a profound impact on cinema.
