John Turturro is set to receive the Golden Eye Award at the Zurich Film Festival, the event’s 22nd edition. The festival runs from Sept. 24 to Oct. 4, and Turturro is scheduled to accept the honor on Sept. 26.
The awards recognize Turturro for his performance in “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,” a film written and directed by Noah Segan. Multiple outlets describe the recognition as tied both to his latest role and to his longer, decades-spanning career. Reporting also notes that Turturro is an Emmy award-winning actor, who has worked across multiple roles in the industry.
While outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some foreground career recognition, others focus more specifically on the film and the festival dates—they agree on the core details: the award, the festival edition and timing, the film credited for the honor, and the scheduled acceptance in Zurich.
