RB Casting Collateral Award

The 79th Venice Film Festival will also host the third edition of the RB Casting Collateral Award

This year will also see the third edition of the RB Casting Collateral Award at Venice Film Festival, an award exclusively designed for Italian performers starring in films included in the Official Selection. The jury is composed of Marita D’Elia, Marco Matteo Donat-Cattin and Florinda Martucciello. The International Venice Film Festival is the first International festival to officially introduce a prize awarded only by casting directors.

The jury will attend the screenings of the films selected in the sections Venezia 79, Out of Competition, Orizzonti and Orizzonti Extra. The best actor or the best actress will be announced on 10th September.

The aim of the award is to promote not only the winning actor but also the category of casting directors, a fundamental professional for the composition of a film’s artistic cast. Casting directors are awarded at BAFTAs, Emmys and in Italy at Nastri d’Argento; they vote for the Oscars, EFAs and David di Donatello Awards.
