"Why not try to think that five fascists sitting in the room watching the films in competition will be able to broaden their horizons": this is how Jasmine Trinca, at the press conference of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival of which she is a member, replied to a question on politics and cinema.
And again the Roman actress-director in this meeting, which focused heavily on politics: "I consider myself lucky to share this time with the other jurors, because I have the opportunity to look at things, the world, through the eyes of someone else, who I think it's the most important thing in life. And it's also a way - he adds - to eliminate borders in an overly political world and to try to keep our eyes open.
In short, we need to 'stay human' as Vittorio Arrigoni said".
The actress joins four fellow directors (the American actor Brady Corbet, the Chinese from Hong Kong Ann Hui, the German Christian Petzold, the Spanish Albert Serra) and the Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko.
The president of the 74th Berlinale is the Kenyan-Mexican actress, director, producer and bestselling author Lupita Nyong'o.
