SLEEK Talks at Soho House
Susanne Wuest on Awards, Art and Industry
At SLEEK, we are fascinated by the forces that shape contemporary cinema — the creative decisions behind the camera, the public narratives around performance, and the complex role of recognition in an actor’s career. For our next SLEEK Talk at Soho House, we invite you to join us for an intimate evening with Austrian actress Susanne Wuest, Cannes Jury Prize winner 2025 and multiple-time nominee.
In conversation with SLEEK publisher Christian Bracht, Wuest will explore what awards truly signify in today’s film world. How do accolades influence artistic freedom? Where is the line between recognition and expectation? And how do prizes reshape both the industry and the way audiences perceive acting as an art form?
Set in the private atmosphere of Soho House, SLEEK brings together filmmakers, creatives and cultural insiders to rethink the meaning of awards in contemporary cinema — and to look beyond the trophies toward the artistic risks and ambitions that drive great performances.
