Now in its sixth year at Museum of Photographic Arts, the San Diego Italian Film Festival has grown into an amazing conduit to enjoy Italian culture. In its entirety, the San Diego Italian Film Festival runs from October 26 through November 11, and features 17 spectacular Italian movies that evoke laughter, tears, and passion.
Tonight, the San Diego Italian Film Festival presents Passione (Passion) (2010), an Italian documentary film directed by John Turturro. It was filmed on location in Naples, Italy. The film chronicles the rich Neapolitan musical heritage, tracing the influences of European, African and Arabic cultures, while touching on the Canzone Napoletana (Neapolitan song) tradition. The film features dozens of contemporary solo performers and ensembles who are currently established on the city's music scene, including Pietra Montecorvino, James Senese, Peppe Barra, Mina, Fausto Cigliano, and Rosario Fiorello. The film also explores the city's music history with archival footage and accounts of such historic artists as Enrico Caruso, Sergio Bruni, Massimo Ranieri, and Renato Carosone.
