Audrey Hepburn graces Rome Film Fest poster

The timeless grace and elegance of Audrey Hepburn are featured in the official poster of the 12^th Rome Film Fest produced by the Fondazione Cinema per Roma and chaired by Piera Detassis, with artistic direction of Antonio Monda.

The picture on the poster taken by photographer David Seymour portrays the one of the most beloved actresses of all time during the shooting of Funny Face (1957).

The Rome Film Fest thus pays tribute to the film directed by the Academy Honorary Award winner Stanley Donen, which in 2017 will celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of its release in theatres, and to the musical, a genre that will be a recurring motif throughout the festival.

In fact, all the films selected for the programme of the “Films of Our Lives” section will be musicals, and before every screening of the upcoming Rome Film Fest viewers will enjoy clips from the most famous and unforgettable musicals.

“Few actresses communicate the idea of grace and sophistication like Audrey Hepburn,” explained Antonio Monda, adding, “I believe she perfectly embodies the identity of the fest we are trying to build, especially in this image filled with joy and elegance.”
