Model and actress Catrinel Marlon the host of yesterday opening ceremony of the 41 Torino International Film Festival-TFF explores new horizons in Torino. She is celebrating her directorial debut here in Torino. A very emotional Catrinel, took the stage today at 5:30 pm in front of her cast and the audience presenting „Girasoli/Sunflowers“ at the Cinema Romano. This is a world premiere, not only the audience also her cast is seeing the film for the very first time. Her talented leading actress Gaia Girace joined her on stage at Romano Cinema aswell as earlier this morning at the press conference. I got the chance to ask Gaia just a couple of questions, not more as time was very limited. Rai station was waiting for interviews and Catrinel would have prefered to be interviewed in Italian. The idea for a film came during the pandemics, which was in Italy especially frustating, Catrinel told me. She and her partner who is a producer thought about a short in the beginning, and later oppened up for a feature film realizing that given the difficult subject time would have been too limited to develop the plot. It also seemed to her less difficult to enter the festival circuit and eventually find distributers with a feature film. The film is based on a true story.
