Actor Samuel Finzi will host the opening gala and awards ceremony of the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, Berlinale 2020.
“We’re very pleased that Samuel Finzi will be hosting the inauguration of the 70th Berlinale. His eloquence, energy and improvisation skills promise an entertaining start to the festival,” say Executive Director Mariette Rissenbeek and Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian.
The actor, who is the son of celebrated actor Itsko Finzi, began acting in his first theater and cinema roles during his studies. Early in his career, he came into contact with directors who strongly influenced the European stage and screen. The Bulgarian actor was chosen to host the event because “in addition to his activities on all major German-language and numerous European stages, Samuel Finzi has taken on roles in varying film and television productions, impressing viewers in terms of box office hits and independent films.” According to the press release Samuel Finzi “is one of the most sought-after stage and screen actors in the German-speaking world”.
“As a European, it’s a great honour for me to be a part of one of the most important film festivals worldwide,” Samuel Finzi, on his part says.
