THIS IS HOW A CHILD BECOMES A POET

North American Premiere

This film plays before TUTTI FRUTTI, screening together as a collection of two mid-length films directed by Céline Sciamma.

Céline Sciamma explores the documentary form for the first time in her 2023 Venice-premiered short film THIS IS HOW A CHILD BECOMES A POET, in which she pays posthumous tribute to Italian poet Patrizia Cavalli by surveying Cavalli’s house shortly before it was to be cleared after her death in 2022. –Anna Li

Céline Sciamma is a BAFTA Award- and Golden Globe-nominated French writer and director widely known for her films WATER LILIES, TOMBOY, GIRLHOOD and PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, for which she received the Best Screenplay award at Cannes. Her 2021 film PETITE MAMAN premiered at the Berlinale and won Best Foreign Language Film at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards.
