Woody Harrelson will be awarded the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo at the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival in recognition of his “outstanding contribution to the film industry and an exceptional acting career,” the festival said Monday.

The news follows announcements over the weekend that the festival would close with a newly restored version of Bosnian director Danis Tanović Oscar-winning film “No Man’s Land,” 25 years after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and that Bosnian actor Emir Hadžihafizbegović would also receive the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo.
