Jennifer Lawrence became the youngest performer to receive the Donostia Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, where she used her platform to warn that “our freedom of speech is under attack in America.”
The 35-year-old Oscar winner presented her latest film Kill Me Love, calling it a turning point in her career and encouraging young filmmakers to persevere. She highlighted the importance of female voices in Hollywood, praising directors like Greta Gerwig for broadening perspectives.
Lawrence joins past honorees including Penélope Cruz, Julia Roberts and Viggo Mortensen. Her award capped a festival marked by political protests, with filmmakers and actors repeatedly voicing support for Palestine and condemning the war in Gaza.
