The\u00a0Italian Film Focus 2015 (IFF), which will start next week-end and which will celebrate, this year, has reached its 15th edition. For cinema lovers, filmmakers and students of Cape Town, the IFF has already become an anticipated yearly event, showcasing the best of new Italian cinema selected among the films participating in the major European festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Rome.
This year\u2019s edition is particularly rich: nine movies, two of which by celebrated directors Paolo e Vittorio Taviani and Cristina Comencini, plus novelties like E-Bola, the first educational movie about the epidemic that shocked Africa and the world, and the documentary When Italy Ate in Black and White, an original experiment of how to tell the story (and the philosophy) of Italian cuisine.
Once again IFF demonstrates that Italian cinema is alive and kicking, maintaining its unique capacity of telling stories and finding new paths, while remaining faithful to a long tradition that has given an outstanding contribution to world cinema and culture.
IFF is not only about the screening of newly released movies. Of particular significance is the attendance of directors, producers and screenwriters from Italy. Not only will their presence enrich the comprehension of the movies through the interaction with the public, but it will also give an opportunity for exchanging experiences and know-how between Italy and South Africa during workshops at UCT and AFTA Cinema School.
The Italian Consulate in Cape Town – together with the Italian Institute of Culture in Pretoria, Associazione Controluce and the Labia Theatre in Cape Town – is very pleased to contribute to the realization of the Italian Film Focus 2015, promoting Italian cinema as an essential aspect of the Italian culture. <\/P>
