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.
