Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Kate Winslet is to be honored at the Zurich Film Festival, which runs Oct. 3 – 13.
On Oct. 7, Winslet will accept the festival’s Golden Icon Award and present her latest film, “Lee.” Winslet stars as the war photographer Lee Miller in the film, and also acts as a co-producer.
Miller’s son, Antony Penrose, and the film’s co-producer, Kate Solomon, will also attend the screening. The film, directed by Ellen Kuras, tells the story of Miller, who made a name for herself as a correspondent for British Vogue during World War II.
Winslet embodies the fearless Lee–one of the most important female war photographers of the 20th century–on her mission to reveal the hidden truths of the Third Reich.
