Zoe Saldaña will be honored with the American Riviera Award at the 40th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Saldaña will receive the award on Friday, February 7, 2025 at an in-person conversation about her career, leading up to her acclaimed performance this year as Rita Moro Castro in Netflix’s EMILIA PÉREZ. Zoe Saldaña’s performance in EMILIA PÉREZ is one of her most transformative roles to date, and adds another unique facet to her already impressive career.
“Zoe Saldaña has a fantastic filmography worth celebrating any year, but her commanding and stouthearted performance in EMILIA PÉREZ makes our tribute to her imperative” remarked SBIFF’s Executive Director Roger Durling.
