Juliette Binoche Receives Morelia Excellence Prize, Screens 156-Minute Directorial Debut

This screening marked the final full-length cut, with a shorter version planned for future releases.

Overview

  • She accepted the Premio a la Excelencia Artística at the Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia on Oct. 11 in Morelia, Mexico.
  • Pro-Palestinian demonstrators occupied her red carpet during arrival, and she warned about misinformation and political manipulation on social media.
  • In‑I: In Motion played at 156 minutes, which she said was the last screening at that length, with a shorter cut to follow.
  • Festival founders Alejandro Ramírez Magaña, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Batel and Daniela Michel presented the honor, and she unveiled a named seat in Cinépolis Centro’s screening room 4.
  • She held a masterclass and described the film’s roots in a performance with Akram Khan recorded by her sister Marion Stalens, a project she said Robert Redford urged her to shape into a feature.
