It?s the fifth annual San Diego Italian Film Festival, October 29 through November 12, 2011 with 15 great Italian movies, fabulous celebrations, famous directors and dynamic discussions.
This year, you?ll find movies that put you right into the heart of Italy; funny, sad, ferocious, and passionate. See director Paolo Virzi?s award winning 2010 film La prima cosa bella (The first beautiful thing), some stunning noir films like La ragazza del lago (The girl by the lake) or take in the retrospective of groundbreaking neorealism films by a trio of Italy?s greatest directors. Insightful introductions will help you understand why these films still influence movie-making today. Two weeks of Italy for you with Italy and Italian culture beside you.
Passion, identity, history and food for the senses don?t miss any of these events. You?ll know you?ve spent a week in the piazza when you come to the San Diego Italian Film Festival.
While documentaries have taken up a larger part of our movie world, this festival will explore what that means today, both here and in Italy in a big confab and movie show at SDSU on November 6. More movies, more directors, more discussions.
