Which films will he be most fond-a?
This year we welcome legendary actor Peter Fonda to the Stockholm International Film Festival. Peter Fonda will head this year’s jury of five and decide which will receive the prestigious Bronze Horse for Best Film.
This year’s jury members will hand out the festival’s heaviest prize, the 7. 3 kilo heavy Bronze Horse to the Best Film i the Stockholm XXIII Competition category. The jury also give out the Aluminium Horse in seven categories: Best Directorial Debut, Best Script, Best Shortfilm, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Music and Best Cinematography.
Peter Fonda is the Chairman of the jury. Two-time Academy Award nominated legendary actor Peter Fonda is nothing less than a cinematic and cultural icon. Since his seminal role as “Captain America” in Easy Rider, Fonda has continually delivered impressive performances. He began his feature film career in 1963, playing the romantic lead in Tammy and the Doctor and joined the ensemble cast of the World War II saga The Victors. Shortly thereafter, Fonda began what would become a famous association with Roger Corman, starring in Wild Angels, as the ultra-cool, iron-fisted leader of a violent biker gang, opposite Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd. Fonda also starred in Corman’s 1967 psychedelic film The Trip, also starring Dern and Susan Strasberg.
Stockholm Film Festival will screen Easy Rider Saturday November 10th at 1.00 pm at Skandia and Peter Fonda will do an exclusive Face2Face before the screening.
