Career

[edit | edit source]

Delpero's first two films, the documentaries Teachers (Signori Professori) and Nadea and Sveta (Nadea e Sveta), premiered at the Torino Film Festival in 2008 and 2012, respectively.[3][4] For Nadea and Sveta, Delpero was nominated in the Best Documentary Feature category at the 58th David di Donatello awards ceremony.[5]

In 2019, Delpero's feature film debut Maternal (Hogar) premiered at the 72nd Locarno Film Festival, where it received a special mention in the Concorso Internazionale competition and was awarded the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury.[6][7] The film was inspired by Delpero's own experiences as a teacher in Argentine "hogars", homes for teenage mothers often administered by nuns.[8]

Delpero was awarded the 2020 Women in Motion Young Talent Award, presented by Kering and the Cannes Film Festival.[9] The following year, Maternal earned Delpero a nomination for Best New Director at the 66th David di Donatello in 2021.[10]

In 2022, Delpero received the Coprocity Development award for her second feature film, the World War II drama The Mountain Bride.[11] Retitled Vermiglio, the film debuted at the 81st Venice International Film Festival in 2024, where it won the Grand Jury Prize.[12] The film also won the Gold Hugo for best film at the 60th Chicago International Film Festival,[13] the award for best international screenplay at the 36th Palm Springs International Film Festival,[14] and seven David di Donatello, including for best film, best director and best screenplay.[15]
