Jennifer Lawrence will receive the Donostia Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

The San Sebastian Film Festival announced this Tuesday that it has awarded one of the Donostia Awards, in its seventy-third edition, to American actress Jennifer Lawrence , "one of the most influential actresses of our time." Lawrence will receive this honorary award at a gala on September 26 at the Kursaal Auditorium.

Jennifer Lawrence (Kentucky, 35) will receive the Donostia Award before the screening of her latest film, Die My Love, "a work that marks a turning point in her career" and in which the actress also participates as a producer. Lawrence has worked on films such as Silver Linings Playbook , for which she won an Oscar in 2021; American Hustle , Don't Look Up, Joy , and The Hunger Games trilogy.

In 2018, she expanded her filmmaking work by co-founding Excellent Cadaver with Justine Ciarrocchi, a production company focused on “telling risky and thought-provoking stories” such as Causeway, No Bad Feelings , and the documentaries Zurawski v. Texas and Bread & Roses . On October 25, 2024, the documentary Zurawski v. Texas , which discusses Texas’ strict anti-abortion laws and which the actress executive produced with Hillary Clinton , premiered in several US cities including New York City, Los Angeles, Austin , and San Antonio , both in Texas.

Her production company's latest project is Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love, a film she co-stars in and produces alongside Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek. Set in rural America, the film portrays a woman trapped between love and madness: Grace, a writer and young mother, who gradually descends into madness, leaving her partner, Jackson, increasingly worried and powerless.

Lawrence confessed that after the success of The Hunger Games, she “lost control over her life.” “Between the release of The Hunger Games and the Oscars, I became such a product that I felt like every step I took was the result of a huge, huge group decision,” she stated. In 2019, Lawrence married art dealer Cooke Maroney and decided to temporarily step back from the film world. In February 2022, three years after their wedding, the couple welcomed their first child . Their second arrived on April 1st.
