Darren Aronofsky will receive the Award for Director at the 34th Toruń Camerimage International Film Festival in Poland. The festival is scheduled to run from 7 November to 14 November 2026.
Festival organisers said, "Honouring Aronofsky at ToruńCamerimage is a tribute to a director whose work demonstrates the immense power of cinema when form becomes an integral part of the story being told." Aronofsky began his career as a feature director in 1998 with the psychological thriller Pi.
That debut film earned him the directing award at Sundance. He later directed Requiem for a Dream in 2000.
The Wrestler won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2008. In 2010, Black Swan received five Academy Award nominations, with Natalie Portman winning the Oscar for best actress for her role.
Aronofsky directed The Whale in 2022, a film in which Brendan Fraser won his first Academy Award. The filmmaker also directed the 2025 crime thriller Caught Stealing.
