There ceremony is set to honor legendary Hollywood star and Oscar winner Faye Dunaway with a lifetime achievement award for her decades of work and a resumé that includes Bonnie and Clyde, Network, Chinatown, Mommie Dearest and more. Nicola Peltz Beckham has been plucked to receive a rising star award for her work as an actress, producer and budding filmmaker.

The ceremony — set to take place at Casa Cinema Giovani with a private dinner to follow at Hotel Ca’ Sagredoon Sept. 5 — was conceived by Kinéo Cultural Association president Rosetta Sannelli and launched in 2002. It is presented in partnership with the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and will take place during the Venice Film Festival, though it has no direct ties to the international gathering.
