Oscar-winning actor Sigourney Weaver will be feted with the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. “To be gifted this award is a privilege I share with all the filmmakers and collaborators I have worked with throughout the years. I proudly accept this award in celebration of all who have helped bring these films to life,” Sigourney Weaver said.

Venice's director Alberto Barbera, whose mandate was just renewed, said: “An actress of the calibre of Sigourney Weaver has few rivals.

"Strengthened by her significant theatrical training, she won over the great film-going public with Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, soon becoming an emblematic figure of the 1980s.”
