Catherine Breillat is awarded with the 2023 Stockholm Visionary Prize.

The 2023 Stockholm Visionary Prize was awarded to director Catherine Breillat. The prize is a "Bronze Horse" that weighs 7.3 kilos. 
Catherine received the award tonight during a ceremony at the Skandia cinema. She held a face2face with the audience before screening of her film "A summer". 



Motivation of the prize to Catherine Breillat:
The Stockholm Visionary Award 2023 is presented to one of our time's most daring visionaries. Her cinematic explorations of power dynamics have shed light on the darkest corners of passion and desire. Her films encourage the audience to reconsider their own beliefs and prejudices. This year's recipient is a director who has never accepted taboos or the idea that certain subjects are not suitable for the silver screen. Women's bodies and sexual awakening are a recurring theme. Her stripped-down aesthetics and raw expression have served as inspiration for an entire generation of female filmmakers, making her a true pioneer with a consistently challenging feminist perspective. We are proud to present the Stockholm Visionary Award 2023 to Catherine Breillat.
