The Actress’s Crime
(35mm, comedy, 13 minutes, 2007)
Dissented with the small part given to her by the director, an actress tries to widen her part in a theatre play and tires to show her talent through an impulsive acting. To sum up, that is the essence of the short film based on the short story “The Crime of Mariskin Actress”, written by Russian author Arkadi Avertchenkko (1881-1925). Produced by Persona Films, the short will be launched in the next edition of the international Festival of Rio de Janeiro.
