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.
Director of Gomorrah and Dogman, Matteo Garrone’s seven-time Nastro d’Argento award-winning live-action version of Pinocchio is an enthralling gothic fantasy starring Roberto Benigni as the woodcutter Geppetto.
Morricone Tribute Screening
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Giuseppe Tornatore’s Malena, starring Monica Bellucci, is the unforgettable story of a boy's journey into manhood amid the chaos and intolerance of World War II.
