European Film Academy Honours Liv Ullmann

Lifetime Achievement Award Goes to Norwegian Actress

On the occasion of the 38th European Film Awards on 17 January 2026 and in recognition of a unique contribution to the world of film, the European Film Academy takes great pleasure in presenting Liv Ullmann with the award EUROPEAN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT for her outstanding body of work as an actress, director and screenwriter.

Born in Tokyo, Liv Ullmann grew up in Canada before moving to Norway with her mother and sister. After her acting training, she eventually joined the ensemble of the Norwegian National Theatre in Oslo and was already a recognised actress when she met Ingmar Bergman in the mid-1960s.

Working with the Swedish director, and alongside the likes of Bibi Andersson, Erland Josephson and Max von Sydow, brought Liv Ullmann international fame and recognition.

She is the mute actress Elisabet Vogler in PERSONA (1966), former violinist Eva Rosenberg in SHAME (1968) which won her a Swedish Guldbagge Award, and Maria who is visiting her dying sister in CRIES AND WHISPERS (1972) which won a special Italian David di Donatello Award.

In SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE (1974) she plays the wife, Marianne, for which she was nominated for a BAFTA and won a David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actress. For her role as psychiatrist Jenny Isaksson in FACE TO FACE (1976) she was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA.

In AUTUMN SONATA (1978) she is a devoted wife, mother, and caretaker who, after seven years of separation, invites her mother, a world-famous pianist, for a visit. Her performance won her another Italian David di Donatello as Best Foreign Actress.

Liv Ullmann also worked with Jan Troell in THE NEW LAND (1972) and THE EMIGRANTS (1971), for which she was nominated for an Oscar, and with Mauro Bolognini in FAREWELL MOSCOW (1987) which won her yet another David di Donatello.

Liv Ullmann’s first film as a director was SOFIE (1992) about the life of a Jewish woman in Copenhagen from 1886 to 1907 with Karen-Lise Mynster, Erland Josephson and Ghita Nørby, followed by an adaptation of Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset’s great historical epic KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER (1995), set in fourteenth-century Norway, and PRIVATE CONFESSIONS (1996). The latter was written by Ingmar Bergman, depicted a flawed marriage and starred Pernilla August and Max von Sydow.

Her film FAITHLESS (2000), starring Lena Endre and Erland Josephson, premiered in competition in Cannes and was later nominated for a Spanish Goya Award. MISS JULIE (2014), with Colin Farrell and Jessica Chastain, follows an unsettled daughter through a midsummer night in 1890, as she encourages her father’s valet to seduce her.

Liv Ullmann has helped to shape our understanding of European film. She has won virtually every award there is, among these the honorary Norwegian Amanda and Swedish Guldbagge Awards, honorary awards at the festivals in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Karlovy Vary and San Sebastian, the European Film Academy’s European Achievement in World Cinema Award and an Honorary Oscar.

Liv Ullmann is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, co-founder and honorary chair of the Women’s Refugee Commission and a dedicated supporter of other charitable organisations.

Upon invitation by the Board of the European Film Academy, Liv Ullmann will be an honorary guest at the 38th European Film Awards Ceremony on 17 January 2026 in Berlin – streamed live on www.europeanfilmawards.eu
