This year?s San Diego Italian Film Festival has drawn from many inspirations - all of which bring together the sights, sounds, flavors, humors and commentaries of Italian life. Mark your calendars and join us for an exciting Festival which commences on October 22nd and finishes with a fabulous Gala Reception on November 5th.
In addition to the 15 wonderful movies that will be shown during the two weeks of the Festival, including a retrospective of director Marco Bellocchio?s films, SDIFF will present music, discussion and celebrations. Crazy Steps on Oct. 24th combines the beautiful music of Astor Piazzolla performed by Camarada, a chamber music ensemble, with Bellocchio?s Enrico IV at the beautiful Birch North Park Theatre. On Oct. 31st learn more about Bellocchio and his films at the roundtable which follows L?ora di religione (My mother?s smile).
Join us for these wonderful films, most are San Diego premieres, and events. The films are in Italian with English subtitles and each will be introduced by one of SDIFF?s professors who bring their study of Italian culture, history, film and art into the theater to give an added dimension to our viewing of these movies. - Victor Laruccia, Executive Director, SDIFF.
Tonight's Film: Questione di cuoreMatter of the Heart
Two men, with virtually nothing in common, strike up the closest of friendships, but must deal with mortality. Screenwriter Alberto goes to the hospital with chest pains; meanwhile, garage owner Angelo suffers a heart attack and winds up in the same room as Alberto. Angelo sees Alberto as someone who can look after his wife Rosanna and the kids when he dies. Alberto, seldom close to anyone, learns the meaning of friendship.. (in Italian with English Subtitles) - Giuseppe Annino, Program Director SDIFF
