Excellence Award Davide Campari

Every year this prestigious award honors artistic personalities whose contributions have made a mark on contemporary cinema.

Excellence Award Davide Campari to Mélanie Laurent and Guillaume Canet

Mélanie Laurent and Guillaume Canet have forged personal and identifiable acting paths for themselves over the years. Working in the service of a French and European tradition of an auteur cinema that often intersects with the reasons of a cultured popular cinema, the two performers have shown extraordinary sensitivity in the composition of their roles thus giving rise to artistic, personal trajectories that are appreciated by audiences. Melanie Laurent and Guillaume Canet had already met professionally and now, Le Déluge, our opening film directed by Gianluca Jodice, allows us to find them in the guise of Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI. Two absolutely superb performances that we wanted to celebrate, thus honoring both of their paths, with our Excellence Award Davide Campari.
