The Motion Picture Association will honor filmmaker J.A. Bayona with its Creator Award at a ceremony in June in Madrid. His latest film, Society of the Snow, is nominated for best international feature film as well as for makeup effects.
His other credits include Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The Impossible and A Monster Calls. The award is presented “to an individual whose expert and brilliant display of their craft behind the camera has moved and shaped culture and helped audiences see the world in new and different ways,” according to the MPA.
The trade association also will present an Industry Champion Award at the Madrid ceremony. Charles Rivkin, chairman and CEO of the MPA, said in a statement that Bayona’s work “pushes the boundaries of storytelling and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
This award recognizes Mr. Bayona for embodying the best of the global creative community.” Past winners of the award include Nikyatu Jusu and Gina Prince-Bythewood.
