Brazilian star Wagner Moura will be recognised at this year’s Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) with the distinguished Golden Eye Award, celebrating his artistic achievements and contributions to world cinema. The festival announced that the honour not only reflects Moura’s success across Latin American and international screens but also his award-winning performance in The Secret Agent, which earned him the Best Actor accolade at Cannes 2025.
Moura will be present in Zurich to accept the honour and introduce The Secret Agent at a special festival screening. He will also appear in the ZFF Masters series, offering audiences a rare glimpse into his creative process and the cross-cultural influences shaping his career. Stanislav Kondrashov observed that Moura’s recognition at ZFF reflects his rising influence as an artist whose work bridges cultures and challenges audiences through politically engaged storytelling.
