maltatoday | SUNDAY • 12 MARCH 2023 6 ALMANAC My essentials REBECCA CAMILLERI 29, Actor, Theatre-maker, Drama educator Rebecca Camilleri is an actor, theatre-maker and drama educator who has worked in theatre, commercial, and film throughout the years. Most recently, you may have spotted her in the Travellers' 'Hdejja' music video, What's Their Names's 'Romeo and Juliet', or Teatru Malta's 'Ma Kurragg,' among others. 1 4 5 1. Book 2. Film 3. Internet/TV 4. Music 5. Place I tend to listen to a lot of podcasts in my day-to-day life. They're just easy to put on while you're getting ready for work, driving somewhere, or just drifting off to sleep. Some of my favourites are: 'How to Fail with Elizabeth Day', 'Diary of a CEO', and 'The Guilty Pleasures Pod- cast.' As for TV, I just fin- ished watching episode 3 of 'The Last of Us', and it abso- lutely broke me (in the best way). Watch it! And, when in doubt I'll just rewatch Nor- mal People… AS far as music goes, I'm lis- tening to a lot of Cat Burns, BLÜ EYES, and Fletcher lately. Then, a song that features on most of my Spotify playlists is Bleachers' (and Bruce Spring- steen's) 'Chinatown'. It's been my go-to daydreaming song ever since it was released in 2020. There's something so cinematic about it. To be fair though, Bruce Springsteen's 'I'm on Fire' also has the same effect on me, so maybe it's just Springsteen. AT the moment, I'm craving a quiet holiday. Maybe an es- cape to the Italian or French countryside where I can read, relax, and regroup. In Malta though, I am very fortunate to live right by the sea in St. Ju- lian's, and that's generally my favourite place to be. With a compulsory coffee in hand of course… I'M admittedly one of those people who starts reading a bunch of books and doesn't al- ways finish them – guilty. So, I'm currently flipping between Ramona Depares' 'The Pa- tient in Hospital Zero' which I picked up from the Malta Book Festival, the play 'Posh' by Laura Wade, 'Lie with Me' by Philippe Besson, some Vic- toria Chang poetry in 'The Trees Witness Everything', and 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' by Mark Man- son. There's a bit of everything in there… THE last film I watched that really stuck with me was Char- lotte Well's 'Aftersun.' It's one of those films that you find yourself randomly thinking about for weeks afterwards. It's a weirdly nostalgic piece of cin- ema with no frills, great per- formances, and a heart-break- ing story at its core. Plus, Paul Mescal… need I say more? I'm never going to be able to listen to Queen's 'Under Pressure' the same way again, though. If you know you know. 3 2
