All the energy and brilliance of the 7th Italian art, rich and audacious for this 2017 edition!
The adventure continues, with an ever-growing and loyal audience, a record broken again last year with 5,700 spectators, including 2,300 schoolchildren.
The objectives remain the same: to offer the best of emerging Italian film production and to continue the exploration and promotion of this Italian culture.
On the program for this 2017 edition:
14 films screened in original subtitled version, great films as we love them, which this year are particularly courageous and bear witness to the difficulty of living daily in an increasingly complex and violent world. Strong questioning, committed statements, uncompromising views on today’s society, the filmmakers offer us incredibly powerful and free films.
All awarded at film festivals in Italy and internationally, most of them first or second works (7 films), many of them unseen in France (7 films), we invite you to discover, in particular, the national preview of Ivan Cotroneo’s latest film, Un Bacio, an original, poetic, touching film with exceptional young actors, or the very beautiful, poignant documentary, unseen in France, directed by the young filmmaker Angelita Fiore, Uomini Proibiti, which addresses the delicate subject of priests torn between their sacerdotal vocation and love…
New this year, the selection of an animated film for a young audience from 6 years old, Iqbal, The Child Who Was Not Afraid, a lovely humanist tale, colorful, which proves to be an effective plea for the defense of children’s rights. A must-see.
