INTERVIEWS

Giuliano Squitieri turned a personal vision into reality by founding the Outdoor Film Festival in his hometown of San Valentino Torio. Rather than building his platform in an established cinematic capital, he chose to bring an international network directly to the community where he grew up.

In a compelling conversation, festival director and producer Tiziana Rocca discusses bridging Italian cinema and Hollywood. She opens up about championing female voices, the emotional depth required to produce Judas’ Gospel, and the vulnerability of bringing deeply personal stories to an international audience.

In this special edition, HHM Co-Founder Ariel Lavi speaks with Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón about the reality of dual roles, the vulnerability of singing on camera, and the absolute necessity of authenticity in film.
