Rohrwacher, Alice |
Date of birth
29 December 1981, Fiesole, Tuscany, Italy
Alice Rohrwacher (December 29, 1981, Fiesole, Tuscany, Italy)
Alice Rohrwacher (born 29 December 1981) is an Italian film director, editor and screenwriter.
Her film Le pupille was nominated for Oscar in 2023 in short film categories.
Rohrwacher was born in Fiesole, in Tuscany, to an Italian mother and German father. She spent her youth in the village of Castel Giorgio, where her mother was born and her father Reinhard worked as a beekeeper.
She is the sister of the Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher. She studied literature and philosophy at the University of Turin, then specialized in screenwriting at the Holden School in Turin.
“There are many things we can imagine that we didn’t grow up with. For example, I didn’t grow up within the church or within organized religion, but that made me very free to look at it with fresh eyes in Corpo Celeste. I didn’t grow up with TV but that allows me to look at it with a sense of surprise.”
Her first experience in filmmaking was in 2006, when directing a part of the Italian documentary Checosamanca.
In 2011, she directed her first feature film, Heavenly Body, which premiered at the Directors' Fortnight during the 2011 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim.
Her second feature film, The Wonders, won the Grand Prix at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. Also in 2014, Rohrwacher was appointed the President of the International Jury for the “Luigi De Laurentiis” Venice Award for a Debut Film at the 71st Venice International Film Festival.
She announced filming of her third film Lazzaro Felice (Happy As Lazzaro) in 2017 with the film starring Sergi López and Rohrwacher's sister Alba Rohrwacher. The film premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival where it won the award for Best Screenplay. It was released by Netflix in December of that year.
Rohrwacher was invited to serve on the jury for the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
Bong Joon-ho described her work as "a mix of magic realism and neorealism, innocent characters butting up against corrupt behemoths".
