“Marianne Slot’s approach to film production has left a deep and lasting mark on 🍊 contemporary cinema, rewriting the rules of the game for collaboration and ideation between filmmakers and producers, with her enduring preference 🍊 for the singularity of the gaze and tireless defence of creative freedom,” said Giona A. Nazzaro, artistic director of the 🍊 Locarno Film Festival. “At a time when cinema risks flatlining into an endless repetition of existing models, Marianne Slot leads 🍊 by example, demonstrating the beauty of both freedom and risk.”
