Written by  Jun 04, 2024

Alfonso Cuarón, the acclaimed Mexican filmmaker, will share his vast professional experience in a friendly, informal setting at Slano Film Days, while also getting inspired by young regional talents such as directors, actors, and cinematographers.

Cuarón, a Golden Lion winner and five-time Oscar winner, is one of today's most versatile directors. Notable films in his career include *Roma* (2018) and *Gravity* (2013), which earned him three and two Oscars, respectively. Other highlights are *Children of Men* (2006), *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban* (2004), *Y Tu Mamá También* (2001), *Great Expectations* (1998), and *A Little Princess* (1995). As a producer, he has worked on many films, including the Oscar-nominated short film *Le Pupille* (2022) by Alice Rohrwacher. His latest project, the series *Disclaimer*, featuring Oscar winners Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, and nominees Sacha Baron Cohen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Lesley Manville, will be released soon.

Joining Cuarón at Slano Film Days are renowned filmmakers Paweł Pawlikowski, Ruben Östlund, Michel Franco, and Juho Kuosmanen. These directors, celebrated by audiences and critics alike, have won awards at major film festivals worldwide.

Slano Film Days will be held from June 18 to 22, 2024, in Slano and the Elafiti Islands. The main program will be hosted at the Admiral Grand Hotel, featuring evening screenings of award-winning films. The first screening will take place on the opening night at the central square in Slano, with other screenings at the summer cinema in the garden of Villa Riva. The event also includes informal gatherings for participants and guests.

Partnering with Slano Film Days is the Sarajevo Film Festival, which will organize CineLink workshops aimed at developing new film projects. These workshops have been fostering film professionals' ideas and projects for over a decade.
