Presented by the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco and New Italian Cinema Events (N.I.C.E.) of Florence, Italy

Dear Friends and Movie Lovers,Join us in celebrating New Italian Cinema, November 8–12, 2017. We kick off the festival at the Castro Theatre, on November 8, 2017, and continue Thursday, November 9 – Sunday, November 12, at the Vogue Theatre in San Francisco. The opening night film, Gianfranco Cabiddu’s The Stuff of Dreams, is a delightful tale of a troupe of actors and a group of criminals shipwrecked together on an island near Sardinia. This comic adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest won the Italian Golden Globe for Best Film and the David di Donatello for Best Adapted Screenplay.

New Italian Cinema, now in its 21st season, is a dynamic film festival that highlights new Italian films from young emerging filmmakers and seasoned masters alike. The festival is co-presented by the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco and New Italian Cinema Events (N.I.C.E.) of Florence, Italy. We invite you to discover seven up-and-coming directors whose dramatic features are competing for the City of Florence Award. Recognizing the first or second feature by an Italian director, the award is decided by audience ballot and will be announced in a presentation on closing night, Sunday, November 12.

In addition to the seven features in competition, New Italian Cinema showcases eight dramatic films by veteran Italian directors in the Special Screenings and Panorama sections, as well as four Italian documentaries, for a total of 19 of Italy’s best cinematic offerings. Invited guests this year include screenwriter Salvatore De Mola, The Stuff of Dreams; actor/producer Lino Pujia and sommelier/actor Charlie Arturaola, The Duel of Wine; Enza Negroni, director of First Try; Sergio Castellitto, director of Fortunata; Marco Segato, director of On the Trail of My Father; Fabio Mollo, director of There is a Light; Gianmarco d’Agostino, director of Walking on Water; and Ludovica Ferrario, production designer, The Young Pope.

For five days and nights, we are delighted to bring Italy to San Francisco and—through the magic of cinema—to bring San Franciscans to Italy. Benvenuti al festival!

The Stuff of DreamsLa stoffa dei sogniWednesday, November 8, 6:30 pm · Castro TheatreA fateful shipwreck casts convicted Camorra criminals and a handful of itinerant actors onto a windswept island that houses a prison, overseen by a warden (Ennio Fantastichini), who lives there with his beautiful young daughter Miranda (Alba Gaïa Bellugi). Comedy abounds when the gangsters infiltrate the theatrical troupe to hide their true identities. The suspicious warden commands the lead actor (Sergio Rubini) to stage a performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in a bid to distinguish the thespians from the miscreants. Winner of the David di Donatello for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Franca: Chaos & CreationFranca: Chaos & CreationWednesday, November 8 3:45 pm · Castro TheatreDIRECTOR INVITEDFilm Only: General Public $10 (one price only); Film + Prosecco Reception: $18

Director Francesco Carrozzini creates an intimate portrait of his mother, Franca Sozzani, the legendary editor of Italian Vogue. Sozzani was known for exploring taboo subjects, championing models of color, and giving photographers creative control. From the ridiculous to the sublime, her astonishing but often controversial magazine covers broke the rules and set the bar high for fashion. Featuring interviews with Karl Lagerfeld, Bruce Weber, Baz Luhrmann, and Courtney Love, this love letter from a son to his mother gives us a glimpse into Sozzani’s creative process.

FortunataFortunataWednesday, November 8 9:10 pm · Castro TheatreDIRECTOR IN PERSON

Fortunata, a young mother and self-employed hairdresser, rushes from one appointment to another, and yearns to open her own salon. Her frantic life, marked by a failed marriage and a coterie of eccentric friends, is further complicated by the needs of her eight-year-old daughter whose behavioral problems require therapy. To achieve her dream, Fortunata has planned every detail and is ready for any obstacle, but she hasn’t considered the one thing that can turn all certainties upside down: love. For the first time, she finds someone who loves her for the woman she is. Winner of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, Best Actress Award, Un Certain Regard.

CastroCastroThursday, November 9 2:15 pm · Vogue TheatreIn the San Giovanni quarter of Rome, families squat in an old school that they occupy illegally. They share the decaying physical space they’ve named “Castro,” and also life’s precious moments: celebrating birthdays, watching each other’s children, and feeding the building’s cat. Paolo Civati deftly directs this documentary about the everyday lives of a rich cast of characters living in community. There may be poverty here, but through the exquisite lens of cinematographer Valentina Summa, dignity, love, and beauty abound. Winner of the Festival dei Popoli 2016 Best Italian Documentary Award.

Husband & WifeMoglie e maritoThursday, November 9 4:15 pm · Vogue TheatreSimone Sodano’s directorial debut is a witty, surprising comedy about a married couple in crisis. Immersed in their careers, a conceited neurosurgeon and an ambitious TV personality have run out of empathy for each other. When Sofie (Kasia Smutniak) reluctantly agrees to help Andrea (Pierfrancesco Flavin) with a late-night experiment, they end up in their partner’s body. Couples’ therapy was never this funny, or effective: There’s nothing like walking a mile in your spouse’s heels—or wielding a scalpel in an operating room—to appreciate his or her challenges and talents.

There Is a LightIl padre d’ItaliaThursday, November 9, 6:30 pm · Vogue TheatreDIRECTOR IN PERSON

Issues of sexuality, parenting, and commitment take center stage in Fabio Mollo’s sensitive, moving, and sensual romantic drama. Paolo (Luca Marinelli) is a rootless gay man living in Turin while Mia (Isabella Ragonese) is a free-spirited (and pregnant) wild child whom he meets in the most unlikely of places. Together, they embark on a journey that leads to a growing bond as they must decide whether their respective futures involve caring for a new baby.

After the WarDopo la guerraThursday, November 9 9:00 pm · Vogue TheatreBologna, 2002. The murder of a judge reopens old political wounds between Italy and France. Former far-left wing activist Marco, a convicted murderer, has lived in France for 20 years as a political refugee, a beneficiary of the Mitterand Doctrine granting asylum to reformed terrorists. But now he is accused of ordering the attack on the judge and the Italian government requests his extradition. Forced to flee with Viola, his 16-year-old daughter, Marco’s life changes forever, along with that of his friends and family in Italy, who must pay for Marco’s past crimes.

First TryLa prima metaFriday, November 10 1:45 pm · Vogue TheatreDIRECTOR IN PERSON

In this gripping and poignant documentary, director Enza Negroni takes us inside the Bologna correctional facility where a team of inmates engage in an uncommon form of rehabilitation: rugby. Led by their tough but big-hearted coach Max, the men of team Giallo Dozza, many of whom have never played the game before, face rigorous training and compete against veteran Italian rugby teams visiting from the outside. Negroni’s raw, fly-on-the-wall shooting style sparks a palpable intimacy with the detainees, whose immersion in the sport unexpectedly changes their lives, and prepares them for unforeseeable challenges ahead.

Pure HeartsCuori puriFriday, November 10 4:00 pm · Vogue TheatreAgnese (Selena Caramazza) and Stefano (Simone Liberati) are like night and day. Eighteen-year old Agnese, a wide-eyed beauty and daughter of a devout woman, is about to take a vow of chastity. Stefano is a streetwise 25-year-old with a violent temper and a difficult past, who works as a guard in a car park next to a gypsy camp. Their unexpected meeting engenders deep feelings, made of stolen moments and some serious chemistry. Their desire grows and their unlikely pairing reveals aspects of themselves that each must confront.

On the Trail of My FatherLa pelle dell’orsoFriday, November 10 6:30 pm · Vogue TheatreDIRECTOR IN PERSON

From the opening shots of a procession through a small mountain town, we enter into a lush landscape in the Italian Dolomites. Fourteen-year-old Domenico surreptitiously follows his father who is hunting “the devil,” a dangerous bear that has been terrorizing the villagers and preying on their livestock. As the two climb higher and higher, their bond deepens. In the upper cliffs of the mountains, as the topography becomes surreal and beautiful, they become acutely aware that just as they watch the bear, the bear watches them. Winner, Best Cinematography, Italian Golden Globes.

Children of the NightI figli della notteFriday, November 10 9:00 pm · Vogue TheatreBoarding school can be a very scary place. At 17, Giulio, an introverted student, discovers just how menacing his elite alpine school is after being awakened by students in hockey masks. Giulio feels alone, but his loneliness is quickly ruptured by the energetic friendship of rebellious pupil Edoardo. Andrea De Sica, a musician and filmmaker (grandson of Vittorio De Sica), has fashioned a notable drama that is a cross between a coming-of-age story and The Shining, featuring excellent performances; beautiful, frightening music; and a tightly wound, visually stunning narrative.

Bozzetto non troppoBozzetto non troppoSaturday, November 11 2:00pm · Vogue TheatreHumble and eccentric in the best way imaginable, Bruno Bozzetto, one of Italy’s most popular and influential animators, is the engaging focus of Marco Bonfanti’s intimate, warm-hearted film. The utterly charming Bozzetto—best-known for the 1976 Fantasia-inspired Allegro non troppo—is the amiable host on this tour of his vibrant world, including stops at his animal-filled, rural country home; his hip Milan studio; and visits to Pixar and the Walt Disney Museum. This upbeat documentary illustrates how a creative filmmaker’s life shapes and influences what later appears on screen.

At War for LoveIn guerra per amoreSaturday, November 11 4:00 pm · Vogue TheatreThe year is 1943; the Allies are preparing to invade Southern Italy. A bumbling young man joins the Army so he can ask his lady love’s Sicily-based dad for her hand—and ends up in a wild romp through WWII’s greatest hits, with cameos from FDR, Lucky Luciano, and a host of other historical figures. The latest comedy from the writer-director-actor Pierfrancesco “Pif” Diliberto offers a little something for everyone: broad slapstick, swooning romance, childlike wonder, and the unforgettable sight of a man saving the day by flying into Sicily on a donkey.

IndivisibleIndivisibiliSaturday, November 11 6:15 pm · Vogue TheatreDaisy and Viola, beautiful conjoined twins with heavenly singing voices, are on the verge of discovering their freedom and sexuality. They can’t wait to turn 18 and follow their dreams, rather than continue their current existence as a lucrative religious sideshow attraction. Their deadbeat parents book them in folk festivals throughout the south, but the sisters just want to be normal. Edoardo De Angelis’s third feature offers stellar ensemble acting and a Felliniesque sensibility. Winner, Best Script and Best Supporting Actress, David di Donatello Awards.

No Country for the YoungNon è un paese per giovaniSaturday, November 11 8:45 pm · Vogue TheatreLike many of their twentysomething generation, Sandro and Luciano feel they have no future. On a wave of euphoric recklessness, they decide to seek out a better tomorrow in Cuba, a new frontier of hope where anything is possible. Their plan: open a restaurant with Wi-Fi, a scarce service on the island. Once there, instead of a local guide, they find themselves with Nora, another young Italian, who both scares and fascinates them with her strange ways. What Sandro and Luciano envisioned as an attractive adventure becomes a struggle to survive through dangerous encounters and mystifying nature.

Walking on WaterCamminando sull’acquaSunday, November 12 11:15 am · Vogue TheatreDIRECTOR IN PERSON

In 1966, the Arno River famously flooded the streets of Florence. Countless artisans would likely have had to move elsewhere for work while the city recovered from the ravages of water and mud, but entrepreneur and bon vivant Beppe Fantacci devised a plan to procure donations from US department stores to subsidize the craftspeople until production could resume. Documentary filmmaker Gianmarco D’Agostino unearths and interweaves mesmerizing amateur color footage of the flood with vivid firsthand recollections to mark the 50th anniversary of the natural disaster, honor Fantacci’s selfless accomplishment, and celebrate Florence’s remarkable resurrection.

The Young PopeIl giovane PapaSunday, November 12 · 1:00 pm Vogue Theatre · Free AdmissionPRODUCTION DESIGNER LUDOVICA FERRARIO INVITED

From Academy Award®-winning director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty), comes The Young Pope, his sumptuous, epic HBO series about a fictional American-born Pope. We are screening the first two episodes from last year’s series because of Sorrentino’s relationship with this festival and because they look beautiful on a large screen. The Young Pope features a charismatic Pope Pius XIII, born Lenny Belardo, played by the magnetic Jude Law. He is a complex and conflicted character—Machiavellian in his modus operandi, yet full of compassion towards the weak and poor.

The Duel of WineIl duello del vinoSunday, November 12 6:15 pm · Vogue TheatrePreceded by the City of Florence Award

Star sommelier Charlie Arturaola takes a mighty fall from grace when he temporarily loses his palate, and is reduced to clawing his way back into the world of competitive wine-tasting as a ghost-taster for a handsome but buffoonish friend. A gleeful, stinging satire of the obsessive world of drinking and dining contests, The Duel of Wine also offers a poetic, moving affirmation on the meaning of wine and its gustatory pleasure. Arturaola’s journey back to the top is a hysterically funny romp that will have you seeing red Chianti everywhere you look.
