Timothée Chalamet will be honored with the prestigious Arlington Artist of the Year Award at the 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF).
Chalamet will receive the award during an in-person tribute and career retrospective on Tuesday, February 11, 2025. The evening will highlight his performances in three highly acclaimed films: A Complete Unknown (Dir. James Mangold), Dune: Part Two (Dir. Denis Villeneuve) and Wonka (Dir. Paul King).
“I’m a big fan of Bob Dylan, and I was blown away by Chalamet’s transformation in A Complete Unknown. His performance is galvanizing and electrifying, especially coming on the heels of the major box office triumph earlier this year with Dune: Part Two. Truly, this is the age of Chalamet” said SBIFF Executive Director Roger Durling.
Timothée Chalamet was the youngest “Best Actor” Oscar nominee since 1939 for his breakout role in Call Me by Your Name. He has starred in five “Best Picture” OscarⓇ nominees: Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, Little Women, Dune, and Don’t Look Up. Additional credits include Bones and All, The French Dispatch, Beautiful Boy, The King, Interstellar, and Dune: Part Two. He is currently in production on A24 and Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, inspired by the late American table tennis legend Martin ‘Marty’ Reisman.
The 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival will take place LIVE February 4 – February 15, 2025.
