Premieres and Awards
The film “Le Ravissement – Rapita”, Kaltenback’s first work, has been acclaimed and distinguished since its premiere at the “Semaine de la Critique” of the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Subsequently, it received the special jury prize at the Turin Film Festival with the motivation of being a “harmonically successful film, where everything contributes to the excellent final result”. This film benefits from the complicity of the interpreters Hafsia Herzi, Alexi Manenti, and a cast that has contributed to creating a mature and engaging work.
