Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival has launched a new award to honor performances on the small screen and will hand the inaugural gong to Shōgun actor Hiroyuki Sanada.
Hiroyuki will receive the award at the festival’s 32nd edition, which runs November 16 to 23. Hiroyuki is one of Japan’s most successful international exports with over fifty film credits.
