Honor where honor is due: Hollywood legend John Malkovich honors himself at the Bremen Film Festival. The 70-year-old will also be honored there on Wednesday (April 10).
Bremen – The Bremen Film Festival will be held for the 9th time from April 10th to 14th. In addition to a varied program of films, the organizers have spared no expense or effort to be able to present a guest of honor in the Hanseatic city in 2024.
In this case we are talking about the American actor and producer John Malkovich, who will be doing the honors at the Bremen Film Festival on April 10th – and will also be looking forward to an award. At the beginning of March, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson was a guest at the Media Markt in Stuhr for an autograph session.

As the organizers announced on Friday (March 8th), John Malkovich will receive the Bremen Film Prize “The Golden Pug”. Oscar winner and director Volker Schlöndorff (“The Tin Drum”) will give the laudation for the veteran Hollywood star. A stage performance by Malkovich, who is now 70 years old, is also planned.
“We are very pleased to be honoring such a broad, artistically diverse and internationally successful film work with this year’s award winner,” says Klaus Windheuser, the board member of Sparkasse Bremen, in this context. The Bremen Film Prize is presented jointly by Sparkasse Bremen and the Bremen Film Festival at a gala in the Theater am Goetheplatz. The corresponding award is endowed with 8,000 euros.

“With his characters, portrayed in a way that is both subtle and authentic, John Malkovich has been making people empathize, think, fear and laugh for decades,” says Windheuser, paying tribute to the US actor’s film work. Malkovich has been active for over 45 years and is best known for his passion for independent films. His performance in the 1985 production “A Place in the Heart” earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

In 1999, he was set to play himself in “Being John Malkovich,” and he can currently be seen in the drama series “The New Look,” which runs on Apple TV+. But above all, Malkovich is now being honored in the Hanseatic city for his film work. The award ceremony itself will be accompanied musically by the Bremen Philharmonic, after which gala guests can expect a colorful concert program by and with John Malkovich.
