Across the film industry, the SCAD Savannah Film Festival is celebrated for joining established stars with emerging talents both in front of and behind the camera. In 2024, the festival’s seventh evening delivered a twinbill of honorees worthy of its reputation at an inspirational screening of Emilia Pérez, which saw the film’s stars Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña earn recognition for their bold performances.
