**ROME, ITALY** – Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is set to receive a lifetime achievement award at the 2024 Rome Film Fest, taking place between October 16-27. The honor comes as Depp is also set to debut his latest directorial project, “Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness”, at the festival. The film, which documents the life of artist Amedeo Modigliani in 1916 Paris, will have its world premiere at the 2024 San Sebastián Film Festival.

Despite Depp’s controversial status in the US following his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, he continues to be a popular figure in the European film community. Last year, he opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival with “Jeanne du Barry”.

Depp will join Viggo Mortensen and Francis Ford Coppola, who are also set to receive special honors at the Rome event and will present their films “The Dead Don’t Hurt” and “Megalopolis”, respectively.
