“ANNE” – short film + Q&A
May 23, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm PDT
WHO OWNS ANNE FRANK? ANNE confronts the question head-on not only about Anne Frank but an ongoing debate over representation in casting.
Best Live Action Short Film submission to the 2023 Academy Awards!
Q&A with writer Adi Eshman
ABOUT THE FILM: Two actresses, one is a Caucasian Jew and the other is African American, have made it to the final callbacks for the role of a lifetime: to play Anne Frank on Broadway. But as the topic of color-blind casting makes its way into the audition room, the controversial question emerges: who is best suited to portray Anne Frank?
ANNE is a film that aims to explore the nuances within cultural representation, in addition to the importance of why stories like Anne Frank’s continue to be told.
