Honorary Award for
Guillaume de Tonquédec

Just under a week after the start of the competition, the juries’ votes have been finalised. Once again, it’s an opportunity to celebrate the wonder of cinema with us.  We are also pleased to present an honorary award to Guillaume de Tonquédec.

A talented actor and comedian, this major star of French cinema is a firm fan favourite. Since the late 1980s, he has received ever-growing praise for the roles he has played with accuracy, humour, and brilliance, in the theatre as well as on television or on film. Tableau d’honneur, Commissaire Cordier, Le Prénom (in which he had already played the character of Claude Gatignol onstage), Fais pas ci, fais pas ça, Au bonheur des ogres, Parlez-moi de la pluie, L’esprit de famille, Les nuits d’été, Profilage, Une affaire française – these are just a few examples of his impressive film career.

In 2013, he received the César for Best Supporting Actor for Le Prénom, and in 2017 he received the Prix Beaumarchais for Best Actor for La Garçonnière. He was also awarded the title of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 2015.

We are delighted to present this honorary award to Guillaume de Tonquédec, in recognition of his work and career as an actor we are always pleased to see at the top of the bill. An unforgettable occasion is in store on Tuesday 9 November at the Forum de Liège. Come and enjoy all we have to offer! Long live comedy and Liège, the Cité Ardente!
