The 20th edition of the L.A., Italia – Film, Fashion and Art Fest will celebrate Isabella Rossellini with a special retrospective of her films, coinciding with her first-ever Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Sister Agnes in “Conclave”, directed by Edward Berger.

Festival president Raffaella De Laurentiis expressed her excitement about honoring Rossellini, stating, “I’ll be happy to meet my childhood friend Isabella and celebrate her first Oscar nomination.” De Laurentiis, who co-produced “Blue Velvet” alongside David Lynch, played a key role in launching Rossellini’s Hollywood career.

Taking place at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Hollywood, the festival runs until March 1, just ahead of the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025. It is supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture, Intesa Sanpaolo, and the patronage of Anica, Apa, and Scabec.
