-HOLLY, Fien Troch’s fifth feature film, has been invited to the Official Competition of the 80th edition of the Venice International Film Festival (August 30th to September 9th 2023).

I have a special bond with the festival and it’s the perfect start for the international festival of the film.” Troch says. “Winning the Orizzonti award for Best Director with “Home” in 2016 meant a lot.
