“The inner journey is the most important thing”: Geneviève Dulude-De Celles on Nina Roza at Berlin Film Festival 2026
19 February 2026
Geneviève Dulude-De Celles, the award-winning director and screenwriter of Nina Roza, received the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlinale 2026 for her compelling film. Building on themes from her previous work, Dulude-De Celles delves into the profound complexities of identity and the migrant experience, particularly the “dual identity” faced by immigrants. She explained that “the inner journey is the most important thing,” describing Nina Roza as an exploration of a father’s reluctance to confront a past he intentionally left behind. Her film employs an impressionistic style, influenced by cinematic masters like Fellini and Tarkovsky, to visually articulate the emotional landscape of its characters, crafting a deeply resonant narrative about heritage and belonging.
