Tom publicly dates a schoolteacher (Emma Corrin) while having a secret love affair with a museum curator (David Dawson).
Gina Mckee, Linus Roache and Rupert Everett also star, with Michael Grandage as director.
Previous Tribute Award recipients include Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Winslet and Anthony Hopkins.
My Policeman will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
