An aura of mystery always seems to surround great actresses, who are both familiar and elusive, who portray real-life characters so convincingly while at the same time giving the impression of coming from another world, bringing light through the silver screen into our hearts.
This description suits Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher perfectly. She has been a regular feature at Cinemed for several years now, for example in Il miracolo by Niccolò Ammaniti, Skies of Lebanon d’Alice by Chloé Mazlo, The Wonders or La Chimera by her sister Alice Rohrwacher, and last year in Stéphane Brizé’s Out of Season, where she once again captured our hearts. We have also taken it to heart to pay tribute to this talented, precious and exceptional actress, whom we will have the great pleasure of welcoming at the 46th Cinemed, from 18th to 26th October.
Alba Rohrwacher will also be symbolizing this new edition through our poster. She is enveloped in the soft golden light of the evening and a luminous midnight blue, her gaze turned upwards as if drawn towards a cinema screen. She extends an invitation to a moment suspended in time, just like when we are at the cinema, to escape from the furious pace of the world in an attempt to better understand our fellow human beings through the stories that filmmakers tell us.
