Filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski Receives French Cinema Award at French Culture Ministry
Filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski, who just completed 'Vie Privée' starring Jodie Foster, received the French Cinema Award at the Culture Ministry in Paris.
She has also showcased diversity within her work, giving singular, non-stereotypical roles to actors from different ethnic and social backgrounds; and she was one of the founding members of the French feminist org that got international festivals like Cannes sign pledges allowing for greater gender parity and transparency in their selections. A graduate of the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure and French cinema school La Femis, Zlotowski first co-directed the short “Dans le Rang,” which won the SACD prize at the 2006 Directors Fortnight in Cannes. An easygoing girl has an amazing summer, and so on… As you can imagine, you always feel indebted to those who believe in it, and in my case, they’ve been the same ones from the start,” Zlotowski said, citing her producer, Frederic Jouve, and distributor Alexandra Henochsberg at Ad Vitam, along with the actors she worked with, “Léa, Tahar, Natalie, Zahia, Virginie, Jodie, Rochdy, Marina, Sofiane, Dali, Lyna, Daniel, Vincent and Mathieu.”
