A masterclass by Anny Romand, actress, executive producer, producer and author
Anny Romand, noted cinema and television actress, will conduct a Master Class on acting with specific references to four of her acting contributions in Le Soulier de satin (The Satin Slipper), by film director Manoel de Oliveira; Mon cher sujet (My Dear Subject), by Anne-Marie Mieville; Diva, by Jean-Jacques Beineix; and Hélas pour moi (O, Woe is Me), by Jean-Luc Godard.
She will explore the following issues: Why become an actor? How to BE a character, and what is the real meaning of holding a part?
Based on her experience with directors Manoel de Oliveira, Anne-Marie Mieville, Jean-Jacques Beineix, and Jean-Luc Godard, she will talk about the rapport between director and actor and the delicate question of choosing to enter, or not, the universe of the Other.
Her presentation will be illustrated with clips from the four films.
An author, and a translator, as well, Anny Romand will read passages of her recent book Ma Grand’mère d’Arménie (My Grandmother from Armenia) during the Post-Festival event Monday, April 4th – 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at the VCU Meeting Place, Floyd & Harrison Streets.
