THE FLORIDA PROJECT (OmU)

The Florida Project

(2017)

with Special Guest

If you've seen Anora, you know Sean Baker likes making movies about those living on the edges of American society. In The Florida Project, Moonee lives with her financially struggling single mother in a budget motel on the outskirts of Disney World, where she plays unsupervised with her friends, unaware of the hardships of the adult world. The film also has a typically excellent performance from Willem Defoe who plays Bobby, the motel’s manager. The film has a lot of untrained child performances, and to talk about this topic and child actors in general we will be joined by Neele Marie Nickel, a former child actor herself. She will talk from her own experiences, good and bad, about being a child actor in the German film industry.
