Robin Wright to receive the Stockholm Achievement Award 2021

The Golden Globe-winning actress and director Robin Wright is awarded the Stockholm Achievement Award 2021 at the Stockholm International Film Festival. Wright will accept the Bronze Horse digitally during the Nordic premiere of Land at the Skandia Theatre at 6:00 pm on Thursday, November 18.

This year’s Stockholm Achievement Award is presented to Robin Wright with the following motivation:
Stockholm Achievement Award 2021 is given to an actress and director who has been active in Hollywood for three decades. With a wide range of roles, she always conveys the same authenticity and emotional presence through the characters she portrays. Wright brings the same sharpness and focus to her feature film directorial debut, “Land”, where she gives an impressive cinematic solo colored by grief and pain. It is a great honor to present Stockholm Achievement Award 2021 to Robin Wright.

Land, a moving film that has received raving reviews and had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year is the award-winning actress Robin Wright’s directorial debut. Wright, who also stars as the lead actress in the film, retreats to an isolated cabin after experiencing an unspeakable tragedy.

The Nordic premiere of Land by Robin Wright takes place at the Skandia Theatre at 6:00 pm on Thursday, November 18. Robin Wright will accept the Bronze Horse digitally before the screening.

Stockholm Achievement Award is presented to an individual in honor and acknowledgment of their contribution to the world of film. Previous recipients of the award are, among others, Uma Thurman, Viggo Mortensen, Willem Dafoe and Ellen Burstyn. The prestigious prize, the 7.3-kilogram Bronshästen (Bronze Horse) – the world's heaviest film prize – is a paraphrase of the Swedish Dalecarlian horse and was created by Swedish designer Fredrik Swärd.
