British actress Tilda Swinton will be honored with the prestigious Golden Bear at the 75th Berlin Film Festival. The 64-year-old actress will receive the award during the opening ceremony at the Berlinale Palast on February 13, 2025. The Berlin Film Festival will recognize the actress for her outstanding achievements in cinema, Deadline reported.

«The range of Tilda’s work is breathtaking. She brings so much humanity, compassion, intellect, humor, and style to her films, expanding our understanding of the world», said festival director Tricia Tuttle, describing Tilda as an icon and a member of the Berlinale family.

The Golden Bear will be a significant accolade for Swinton, who has had a long-standing connection with the Berlin Film Festival. In 2009, she served as the head of the international jury and appeared in 26 films featured in the festival’s program, including Caravaggio, The Beach (2000), Derek (2008), Julia (2008), The Garden (1991), and Last and First Men (2020).

Tilda shared her thoughts on receiving the honor, expressing that it is a great privilege for her. She also revealed that the Berlinale was the first film festival she ever attended.

«The Berlinale was the first film festival I ever visited, in 1986 with Derek Jarman and his debut film Caravaggio. It was my gateway into the world where I would pursue the work of my life – the world of filmmaking – and I have never forgotten how indebted I am to it. To be granted such an honor by this festival is deeply moving to me», Swinton commented.

Tilda Swinton, known for frequently wearing outfits in the colors of the Ukrainian flag at public appearances, graces the cover of the December issue of Vogue Taiwan. The Oscar-winning actress also starred in a vibrant photoshoot conceptualized and styled by her personal stylist, Jerry Stafford.

The shoot took place in Taiwan, with photography by Zhong Lin. For the series, the 64-year-old icon donned a variety of looks from Chanel, fitting as Swinton serves as an ambassador for the fashion house.

Her beauty look featured makeup emphasizing her lips, perfectly complementing her platinum blonde hair.

One particularly striking image captures Swinton holding a rectangular mirror, reflecting her face in a mesmerizing composition.

In addition to the photos, the magazine includes an exclusive interview where the actress answered a thought-provoking question: «What does she consider most important in her life?». Swinton responded with a smile:

«The woman I played in The Eternal Daughter relied on three things during the final weeks of her life-things I’ve always believed can support a person in any moment: friendship, nature, and art. These three things will never let you down. I believe almost everything else might fail you, but if you build your life around these three, they’ll never betray you».
