‘Dovecote’ Star Zoe Saldaña And Director Marco Perego On Power Of Perception And Women’s Freedom In Their Prison-Led Oscar-Qualifying Short Film


Actor Zoe Saldaña and Director Marco Perego talk about making their short film 'Dovecote'

In Dovecote, an atmospheric drama short film by Italian filmmaker and artesian Marco Perego, the camera fixates on society’s often unseen citizens: the women confined to a seaside prison in Venice. Filmed inside Giudecca’s working women’s prison on an island in the Venetian lagoon, the story centers around a woman ( Zoe Saldaña) during her final moments before being released. Here, Deadline speaks to star Zoe Saldaña and catches up with Perego since our conversation with him about the short in August to discuss the importance of perception, women’s freedoms and collaboration.
