Susan Sarandon will be honoured at the Rome Film Festival’s independently run Alice in the City sidebar, a programme dedicated to films for children and youth. The award will recognise Sarandon’s long‑standing contributions to cinema while she attends the Eternal City fest to promote the international launch of her co‑starring feature film debut, The Accompanist.
The Rome Film Festival, held annually in Italy’s capital, is known for showcasing independent and international cinema. Alice in the City, the festival’s children’s and youth film section, is run separately from the main programme and focuses on works that appeal to younger audiences.
In The Accompanist, Sarandon stars alongside Zach Woods, who is best known for his role in the television series Silicon Valley. The film marks Woods’ first feature‑length project and is set to make its international debut at the festival.
While the festival will celebrate Sarandon’s achievements, her presence will also serve to highlight the film’s premiere, offering audiences a chance to see the actress in a new leading role.
Details of the ceremony and the film’s screening schedule will be released by the festival organisers in the coming days.
