CINEMA MADE IN ITALY – March 5-9, You Lucky Londoners!

I got this message from Clare and I am more than happy to pass along the information for those of you in London.

Cinema Made in Italy 2014 will kick off on 5 March at Ciné Lumière, celebrating its fourth edition. The event, which has become an annual rendezvous, is organised by Istituto Luce Cinecittà/ Filmitalia and offers a 5-day showcase of the best recent Italian productions. The festival’s programme includes 10 brand new Italian films and one documentary: a selection of eight titles made by Titta Fiore, film critic and Head of the Arts & Culture Section of the Italian newspaper Il Mattino, and a special choice of two films by Adrian Wootton, CEO of Film London. The screenings will be followed by Q&A sessions with directors and actors. This is a unique chance to see Italian films that have not yet had exposure in the UK and a rare opportunity to catch up with brand new, cutting edge Italian cinema.

Members of the Italian Cultural Institute are entitled to the concessionary rate during the festival.
