With the Mediterranean sun casting a golden glow over the Croisette, Alan Viezzoli, a journalist for Trieste’s Radio Attività, settles into a seat just steps from the Palais des Festivals. He’s here not as a spectator, but as a sharp-eyed chronicler of cinema’s most anticipated week.
“I’m here at the Cannes Film Festival to watch the films and report back for my radio audiences in Trieste,” Viezzoli says, notebook in hand. “It’s crucial to be present — to see firsthand the films that will shape the conversation throughout awards season.”
For Viezzoli, whose voice is familiar to listeners in northeastern Italy, Cannes is more than red carpets and celebrity sightings. It’s a working mission — a chance to track the pulse of international cinema and offer his insights on what’s to come.
When asked which filmmakers he’s most eager to see this year, he doesn’t hesitate: “Wes Anderson, of course. And I’m hoping for new works by the Dardenne brothers, and Clever Don’t Feel. Their styles are so distinct, and each new film is a discovery.”
As he dashes between screenings and interviews, Viezzoli brings a bit of Trieste to the Riviera — and a bit of Cannes back to his listeners at home.
