JASMINE TRINCA
Reserved and talented, at only 20 she is chosen by Nanni Moretti for the film La stanza del figlio, for which she receives numerous awards as best emerging talent. The film commitment does not prevent her from continuing her studies: she graduates from classical high school with full marks and enrolls in the degree course in Archeology.
Her next film is La meglio gioventù (2003), which earned her the Nastro d’Argento 2004 for Best Actress in a Leading Role along with the film’s female cast.

The consecration comes in 2009 with the film Il grande sogno, directed by Michele Placido, with which she wins the award for Best emerging actress at the Venice Film Festival.
2013 is a year of great recognition: she is the protagonist of Valeria Golino’s debut feature, Miele, and of Un giorno devi andare by Giorgio Diritti, in competition at the Sundance Film Festival.
In 2017 in Cannes she receives, for her interpretation in Sergio Castellitto’s Fortunata, the award for best actress. The following year she plays Ilaria Cucchi in the film Sulla mia pelle, presented during the 75th Venice International Film Festival.
