Ariane Labed who is of French origin but born in Athens, won the award for the best women’s performance at the 67th Venice Film Festival.
The film “Attenberg” by Athina Rachel Tsangari reprseented Greece in the artistic film festival. Labed who is a new actress along with the film both received positive comments. Shortly “ATTENBERG” will be on view at the Toronto Festival.
“We are happy for the awarding and of course very proud for Ariane. The award is big and the welcoming of the film was very good. In Venice we had a considerable Greek presence with 4 films, completely different between them. I met Ariane when she was in Greece for an artistic theatrical cooperation and I was impressed by the simplicity in her performance. I believe that she is excellent in the role of Marina,” Athina Rachel Tsangarim told the ANA-MPA.
“Attenberg” is the story of an antisocial young woman who lives with her father in a Greek province. Tsangari’s film also received the parallel award of LINA MANGIACARPE in the collateral awards.
