IFF Presents: A Conversation with Sacha Baron Cohen

Join us for a conversation with the Academy Award-nominated actor and screenwriter, Sacha Baron Cohen. Best known for his creation and portrayal of legendary characters Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev,  Brüno Gehard, Admiral General Aladeen and Erran Morrad, Baron Cohen has also acted in Adam McKay's TALLADEGA NIGHTS, Tom Hooper's LES MISERABLES, Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD and Martin Scorsese's HUGO.

In 2020 he wowed audiences and critics alike with his work in two timely films. For BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime For Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Baron Cohen won two Golden Globe Awards — for Best Lead Actor Comedy and Best Picture Comedy — and made history by being the first person to win two awards for the same film character. In Aaron Sorkin’s TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7, Baron Cohen received Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG nominations for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal as legendary activist Abbie Hoffman.

Additionally, Baron Cohen is a founding member and leading voice for Stop Hate for Profit, a coalition that calls out the social media companies who profit from the proliferation of conspiracy theories, racism, and hateful rhetoric on their platforms.
