Alice Rohrwacher

Alice Rohrwacher will attend the 2023 Visions du Reel film festival in Switzerland as a special guest.

Italian writer, director and editor Rohrwacher will give a masterclass on Saturday, April 22 about her films. She will also present a retrospective of her fiction, hybrid and documentary work at the festival.

Rohrwacher’s first fiction film Corpo Celeste debuted in Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes in 2011, going on to play festivals including Sundance, New York and the BFI London Film Festival. She has since returned to Cannes with 2014’s The Wonders, 2018’s Happy As Lazzaro and 2021 documentary Futura.

Rohrwacher’s Le pupille, co-directed with Alfonso Cuaron for Disney+, is nominated for best live action short film at this month’s Oscars.

Her next feature La Chimera starring Josh O’Connor and Isabella Rossellini is currently in post-production, and tipped for a Cannes debut in May.

Visions du Reel runs from April 21 to 30. Argentinian filmmaker Lucrecia Martel will also receive an honorary award at the event, as previously announced.
