Jennifer Lawrence is set to receive a Donostia Award at the 2025 San Sebastián Film Festival, the highest honor at the fest, the biggest movie event in the Spanish-speaking world, scoring 172,300 admissions in 2024.
Lawrence will attend Spain’s San Sebastián to receive the award on Friday September 26 at a gala ceremony before a screening of Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love,” which she stars in and produces via her Excellent Cadaver production label.
Co-starring Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek, “Die My Love” is the biggest title announced for this year’s San Sebastian.
Written by Ramsay, Enda Walsh and Alice Birch, “Die My Love” was also the subject of one of the biggest deals at this year’s Cannes, with Mubi paying a weighty $24 million for North America and major international markets taking in half the major markets in the world such as Latin America, Germany, U.K. and Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia and New Zealand. U.S. theatrical commitment was for a roll-out of a minimum 1,500 screens over 45 days.
In “Die My Love” Lawrence plays a mother sucked into a vortex of mental breakdown after postpartum depression.
Lawrence joins Pedro Almódovar producer Esther García as a 2025 Donostia Award recipient.
She will nothing to dent the caliber of the Award as biggest honorary award in the Spanish-speaking world, last year’s recipients featuring Pedro Almodóvar, Cate Blanchett, and Javier Bardem.
San Sebastián runs Sept. 19-27.
