Keynote Speaker: First Woman to Win an Academy Award for Best Director; Known for "Zero Dark Thirty," "Detroit" & "The Hurt Locker"

Kathryn Bigelow Biography

Kathryn Bigelow, a director, producer, and screenwriter, started her directorial career with the outlaw biker film "The Loveless" in 1981. She then gained prominence by directing thrillers such as "Near Dark," "Blue Steel," "Point Break," "Strange Days," and "K-19: The Widowmaker." Bigelow's work on the war drama "The Hurt Locker" in 2008 earned her the distinctive honor of being the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director.

Bigelow continued her successful career by directing the spy thriller "Zero Dark Thirty" in 2012 and the crime drama "Detroit" in 2017. Her work in television has also received acclaim, including directing episodes of the NBC series "Homicide: Life on the Street" from 1998 to 1999. Bigelow's exceptional work in documentary filmmaking was recognized with a Primetime Emmy Award for her Netflix film "Cartel Land" in 2015. Her expertise also extends to commercial direction, as denoted by her nomination by the Directors Guild of America for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Commercials for Apple's "Hollywood In Your Pocket" in 2022.

In addition to her work in film and television, Bigelow has been recognized by the industry with numerous awards, including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award. Her film "The Hurt Locker" won both the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Picture, making her the first woman to receive these honors. Bigelow's distinctive filmmaking style, which often explores complex themes such as politics, gender, and violence, was recognized by Time magazine in 2010 when she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2024, it was announced that Bigelow would spearhead a thriller for Netflix, her first movie since "Detroit."
