Luca Guadagnino is an Italian film director known for making dramas that often focus on relationships, desire and identity. His work has reached audiences around the world while drawing on European film traditions and Italian settings or sensibilities.
He became widely known outside Italy with Call Me by Your Name, a coming-of-age story set in northern Italy. Later films such as Bones and All and Challengers showed his willingness to work across different types of story, from horror-inflected romance to sport and psychological drama.
The Venice Film Festival is one of the world’s oldest and most prominent film events, where new films are premiered and awards are given to filmmakers. The Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award is intended to recognise a director’s wider contribution to contemporary cinema, rather than a single film.
