, one of the most famous – and bankable — faces of French cinema, known for her Cesar-winning performance in “I’ve Loved You For So Long,” is preparing to emerge as a major film producer.
Over a tea date in Paris ahead of the Berlinale, Zylberstein explained her move into producing was prompted by her experience playing Veil, whom she knew personally and admired. Although she wasn’t credited as a producer on the movie, she was a driving force behind it, finding partners and convincing Olivier Dahan to direct. She first met Veil when she gave a speech in her honor at the Shoah Memorial at the University in Jerusalem and the two stayed in touch.
The actor-turned-producer said she met Fayyad at Venice and approached him with the project after seeing his two documentaries, “The Cave” and “Last Men in Aleppo.” “Simone Veil was a warrior and being her in that film gave me such strength. That’s why everything I’m developing now is about women who are fearless, no matter if they’re famous or unknown,” says Zylberstein, who will be traveling to Los Angeles next week.
“I want this series to give a snapshot of today’s world when it comes to sex and love. I’d like it be what life is: funny and moving, with some depth to it,” says Zylberstein, who will play the part of Esther, whose parents are Holocaust survivor like hers.
