IAC Role of Honour
Awards & Trophies: Le Hedan Trophy

The Le Hedan Trophy
for the Best Acting Performance

Purchased in 1978 in memory of the late Madame Le Hayden who had frequently visited the festival from France. In the early 21st century the handing out of trophies stopped, although the award for Best Acting continues.

The Le Hedan Trophy for best acting.

As its name suggests this award goes to an actor rather than the movie director.
