The Vancouver International Film Festival will present Carrie Coon with its first acting Luminary Award on Oct. 4, followed by a wide-ranging conversation. Her film “The Liberation” is scheduled to screen earlier that day.
In “The Liberation,” Coon plays a mother trying to escape the weight of a harrowing past who finds solace in an all-women’s cult.
VIFF runs Oct. 1–11. It will also present Luminary Awards to Markus Schleinzer for directing and Leah Nelson for screenwriting.
