BERLINALE 2025: The emerging Portuguese actor delves into his approach to roles, his most exciting acting experiences and even playing piano
Vicente Wallenstein is a subtle actor with many strings to his bow. Having appeared across film, TV and with plenty of stage credits, it has been his recent foray into cinema that has caught the eye. 2024 was quite the year for the young actor, having taken a starring role in Luis Filipe Rocha’s Your Face Will Be the Last, which also allowed him to display his talents as a pianist. Last year also saw Wallenstein appear in both Romagem, and After Dance – A Concert Film. He also enjoyed a shorter, if still enjoyable experience, on Paddington in Peru.
Now selected for EFP's 2025 European Shooting Stars, she talks to us about his emerging career.
