Our ambition is to present to the Romanian public the best films of recent production, revealing the modernity of our cinematography through current stories and a creative and never banal cinematic language," said Laura Napolitano, director of the Italian Institute of Culture in Bucharest, as quoted in the press release.The festival's selection, directed by Eddie Bertozzi, brings together both established filmmakers and brave new voices, offering a cinematic journey through different corners of Italy: from the vibrant streets of Naples in "Hey Joe" (directed by Claudio Giovannesi), to the melancholy of Siena in "Diciannove" (directed by Giovanni Tortorici), to the mysterious atmosphere of Sicily in "Iddu" (directed by Antonio Piazza & Fabio Grassadonia) or the military forts of Friuli and Trentino in "Campo di battaglia" (directed by Gianni Amelio), the release said."The driving force behind any passion is curiosity, and if we had to describe Italian cinema today in one word it would be 'curious'. The curiosity of our filmmakers is reflected in their exploration of new cinematic horizons and in the way they manage to surprise an audience increasingly eager for unexpected stories. This year's selection offers a variety of perspectives. (...) Curiosity also pushes us to go beyond the boundaries of the classic fiction film, exploring other cinematic forms, such as Adele Tulli's creative documentary 'Real' and the innovative short film program 'Dove si va da qui?'," said Eddie Bertozzi, artistic director of the festival.Tickets are available on Eventbook - https://eventbook.ro/festival/visuali-italiane."Visuali Italiane - New Italian Cinema in Romania" is an event organized by the Italian Institute of Culture in Bucharest and the Italian Embassy, in collaboration with the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, Victoriei Cinema in Cluj-Napoca, RADEF RomaniaFilm, Cinema Studio in Timisoara, Timisoara Project Centre, Atheneum Cinema in Iasi, Este Film Sibiu, Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival, One World Romania and F-Sides Cineclub.
