Amber Heard, the 37-year-old actress, attended the 69th Tormina Film Festival in Italy on Friday to support the premiere of her film In the Fire.

This marks her first major appearance since her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp came to a close a year ago.

The supernatural thriller completed filming in March 2022, months before the Virginia trial began.

Director Conor Lynn and co-star Eduardo Noriega also attended the film festival’s grand opening celebration.

Heard seemed relaxed and happy as she joked and laughed with friends and the In the Fire cast and crew members.

Dressed in a white calf-length wrap-around skirt, a simple t-shirt, and high black heels, Heard accessorized her look with silver earrings and gold bracelets and had her hair styled in loose curls that fell around her shoulders.

As the lively group made their way to the Tetro Antico, Heard almost lost a shoe as she walked along the uneven ancient flooring.

Passersby appeared surprised, and a group of excited staff and fans gathered to ask the actress for selfies.

In the supernatural thriller, Heard plays a pioneering psychiatrist who sets out to treat a desperate child at a time when psychiatry is not yet a respected science.

While the woman tries to psychoanalyze the child, the nefarious events intensify, and her cure becomes a race to save the little boy from the fury of his fellow citizens, and perhaps, even from himself.

The film’s premiere is planned for Saturday night in Tor Mina.

Heard and Depp reached a settlement and dropped their appeals in December.

As part of the agreement, she paid the actor $1 million, which he said will go to five different charities.

When she announced the settlement, Heard said it was not an act of concession, and there are no restrictions or gags with respect to her voice moving forward.

She refused to face abuse or bankruptcy for speaking her truth, but unfortunately, it is not uncommon.

Heard also said she was choosing the freedom to dedicate her time to the work that helped her heal after her divorce.

The actress, who will also appear in this December’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, relocated to Madrid, Spain, where she lives with her two-year-old daughter Luna Page.

Depp, meanwhile, opened the Cannes Film Festival last month with his French movie Jeanne du Barry.

During a press conference at the prestigious festival, Depp was asked about returning to movies after the trial and whether he felt boycotted by Hollywood.

He replied that he did not feel boycotted by Hollywood because he did not think about it.

He added that he did not have much further need for Hollywood himself.

As for Heard, she appeared to be enjoying her time at the Tormina Film Festival, surrounded by friends and fans.

Her appearance marks a significant milestone in her career, and her fans are excited to see what the future holds for the talented actress.
