Julia Ducournau - Alpha - Stockholm International Film Festival
Monday, 24 November, 2025

Five years ago Julia Decournau won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for her film “Titane”. We caught up with her on her recent visit to the Stockholm International Film Festival where she presented her latest work “Alpha”. It’s a multi-layered story of love and fear where a mother must navigate the possible exposure of her daughter to a virus that once killed her brother. As Julia will tell us, a synopsis can’t describe this or most other films. Julia shares insight into some of her filmmaking choices, including the use of Nick Cave’s song “The Mercy Seat” to set the tone for pivotal scene.Alpha: Trailer Hosted on Acast.
