The Kinéo Awards will mark its 25th anniversary with a ceremony taking place in Venice, Italy next month. The event will recognize Faye Dunaway with a lifetime achievement award, acknowledging her extensive career in film that spans decades and includes roles in major productions such as Bonnie and Clyde, Network, Chinatown, and Mommie Dearest.
Nicola Peltz Beckham will receive a rising star award for her contributions as an actress, producer, and filmmaker. The two honorees will be united through their work on the upcoming independent feature Prima, directed by Alessandro Morelli and Luca Morelli in their feature directorial debut. Beckham’s career, spanning approximately 20 years, includes appearances in films and television series such as The Last Airbender, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bates Motel, and Welcome to Chippendales, as well as her work as a writer and director on the film Lola.
The ceremony will be hosted by actress Tatiana Luter and Marcello Foti, who serves as director of Centro Sperimentale delle Arti Contemporanee. The event is scheduled for Sept. 5 at Casa Cinema Giovani, with a private dinner following at Hotel Ca’ Sagredo. The awards were conceived by Kinéo Cultural Association president Rosetta Sannelli and established in 2002, operating in partnership with the Ministry of Cultural Heritage during the Venice Film Festival, though maintaining no direct affiliation with the festival itself.
Additional honorees include Italian performers Chiara Francini for best actress and Maria Gifuni for best supporting actress. Sara Lazzaro will receive recognition for best series actress for her performance in Call My Agent Italia 3. Other award recipients include Paolo Calvano for best child star, Raniero Monaco di Lapio for best series actor, and international selections recognizing Turkish actor Alp Navruz and Mexican performer Oka Giner. The ceremony will also present awards for best international film and best short film, with fashion designer Eleonora Lastrucci set to unveil a tribute creation during the program.
