Hollywood star Angelina Jolie will be honoured with the Maltin Modern Master Award at the 2025 Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF), the organisers have announced.


According to reports, the award was established in 1995 to honour filmmakers, who have changed the movie industry through significant contributions and impact. It was renamed the Maltin Modern Master Award in 2015 to honour long-time SBIFF moderator and film critic Leonard Maltin.


“Angelina Jolie makes bold choices, both as an actor and as a director. She sets the bar high in both disciplines and always comes through. I look forward to reviewing her career with her in Santa Barbara,” said Maltin. Previous recipients of the Maltin Modern Master Award include Jamie Lee Curtis, Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, Robert Downey Jr, Denzel Washington, Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, Christopher Plummer, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Clint Eastwood and Peter Jackson. 


The 40th edition of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival will run from February 4 to 15, 2025.

Jolie, who won an Oscar for best supporting actor for Girl, Interrupted (1995), will next be seen in Pablo Larain’s Maria, about the popular American-born Greek opera singer Maria Callas.
