TRIBUTE TO HOLLY HUNTER

Holly Hunter has been bringing her sassy, bright and memorable characters to stages and screens since the early 1980s, winning recognition for her earthy performances in Raising Arizona, Broadcast News, Miss Firecracker, Always, and Roe vs. Wade—and picking up an Oscar® for her beguiling and accomplished work in Jane Campion’s The Piano. She’s charted a refreshingly candid career in a variety of film and television roles, including Home for the Holidays, Living Out Loud, Crash, Saving Grace, and Thirteen, reteaming with Campion for a vividly realized turn in Top of the Lake, and most recently standing out in 2017’s The Big Sick. MVFF is proud to honor the distinctly openhearted spirit of Ms. Hunter’s contributions to the art of acting.
