Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi will be honored with the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo at the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival. The festival, scheduled for Aug. 14 to 21, recognizes the director and screenwriter for his outstanding contribution to the art of cinema. Multiple outlets report that Farhadi will attend and accept the award in person in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The festival also plans to showcase a retrospective of Farhadi’s work as part of its “Tribute To” programming, according to one report, where the retrospective is presented alongside the honorary recognition. Farhadi is an Oscar winner, having earned Academy Awards for “A Separation” and “The Salesman,” and the honor is positioned as a career achievement acknowledgment rather than for a specific new release. In addition to Farhadi, the Sarajevo Film Festival is also awarding British actress Emily Watson, which is mentioned alongside Farhadi in one report. Overall, the coverage agrees that the festival will combine the honorary award with a dedicated retrospective of Farhadi’s films during the same event dates.
