The first twenty years in the movies for Kasia Smutniak, this year's Leopard Club Award, are a distinctly Italian affair, in collaboration with important filmmakers ranging from Carlo Mazzacurati to the Tavianis, from Paolo Genovese to Paolo Sorrentino, from Ferzan Özpetek to Silvio Soldini. One of the first was Peter Del Monte, with In Your Hands. He was a friend of the Festival, and Kasia remembers him in an indelible manner.
