ItalianoDesiree Akhavan’s coming-of-age drama The Miseducation of Cameron Post, starring Chloë Grace Moretz, will screen at Rome Film Fest and open “Everybody is talking about it”, the section devoted to films that have had a remarkable international debut.
Adapted from the cult novel by Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post is directed by New York filmmaker of Iranian origin Desiree Akhavan, considered one of the most intense and original voices on the international independent scene. The film has marked Chloë Grace Moretz (Suspiria, Hugo Cabret) out as one of the finest young actresses in American cinema today.
The story is set in a small town in Montana, in 1993: young Cameron Post, surprised kissing a girl at the school prom, is shipped off to a religious center, God’s Promise, to “heal her” of homosexuality by means of conversion therapy. Intolerant to discipline and to the center’s dubious methods, Cameron connects with her peers, and ends up creating a small and variegated community that can proudly reaffirm its own identity.
The Rome Film Fest will take place from 18 to 28 October 2018 at the Auditorium Parco della Musica and will involve several other locations and cultural realities in the Italian capital. It will be held under the artistic direction of Antonio Monda and produced by the Fondazione Cinema per Roma headed by Laura Delli Colli with General Manager Francesca Via.
