The 30th Raindance Film Festival is currently taking place at several venues across London. The festival organizers have announced on social media that Damian Lewis has accepted a posthumous Icon Award in tribute to Helen McCrory. Helen was on the 19th Raindance Film Festival Jury in 2011 and Damian is on the jury this year. The festival also announced the recipients of this year’s Raindance Icon Award,: Vanessa Redgrave, Jonathan Pryce and Gemma Arterton. Some recipients will receive their award at the Opening Gala Party on October 26 and others at the Awards Ceremony on Friday, November 4.
The Radio Times reports Damian said:
“I’m honoured to accept the posthumous Raindance Icon Award on Helen’s behalf. She’d be pleased as punch to be receiving it. There was no more fiercely independent spirit than Helen and in her attitude towards work. She loved her time on the Raindance jury and being able to view films made with that same liberated energy. Raindance and Helen – it’s a perfect match.”
