Courtesy of LFF Andrew Scott will receive the Mill Valley Film Festival‘s Acting Award for his latest performance in “Elsinore.”
Scott stars in the Focus Features film portraying Ian Charleson in his celebrated performance as Hamlet at London’s National Theatre, before the actor, known for starring in “Chariots of Fire,” died at the peak of the AIDS crisis in 1990.
Directed by Simon Stone and produced by Scott, “Elsinore” tells the deeply emotional and inspirational true story of the late Charleson, a gifted actor whose greatest challenge becomes his greatest triumph. “Facing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace,” the film’s synopsis explains, “Charleson delivers a courageous performance that becomes a source of healing and inspiration for those around him.” Focus will release “Elsinore,” also starring Oscar winner Olivia Colman, in theaters on Nov. 20.
