Blanchett will attend Camerimage in Toruń, Poland, to receive the honor at the festival's closing gala. Camerimage 2025 runs Nov. 15-22. Blanchett's astounding 30+ year career on screen has been accompanied by some of cinema's most stunning cinematography. Her breakthrough film, Elizabeth (1998), her first Academy Award nomination, earned cameraman Remi Adefarasin an Oscar nom (and a Golden Frog win at Camerimage). Ed Lachman's lensing of Todd Haynes' I'm Not There (2008) won the Bronze Frog at Camerimage, and his work on Hayne's Carol (2015) received an Academy Award nomination. (Blanchett was Oscar-nominated for both films). Florian Hoffmeister took the top prize at Camerimage for the Blanchett-starrer Tár (2022) from Todd Field, a film that scored Blanchett her eighth Oscar nomination.

In 2023, Warwick Thornton won the festival's top prize for his lensing of The New Boy, which he also directed, and which Blanchett produced through her production shingle Dirty Films.
