For 21 years we have shared our love for cinema and Italian culture by presenting the best new films from Italy on the big screen. This year might look a little different: we will be sitting further apart and we will blow kisses instead of launching into a warm embrace, but when the lights go down and the film rolls, we will all escape to Italy together.
Melbourne, join us for a glass of Il Fiore prosecco and a festival gift bag at the premiere screenings of the festival highlights The Goddess of Fortune, Martin Eden and I Hate Summer on Wednesday, 25th November.
