The films are carefully selected, have won many prestigious awards at film festivals in the region and around the world, and are imbued with typical Italian colors.
"Through frames ranging from reality to dreams, from humor to tragedy, the films screened at the 2024 Italian Film Festival have portrayed modern Italian society in the most multidimensional way, addressing political, economic and urgent social topics such as migration and working conditions," said Italian Ambassador Marco della Seta.
Specifically, the 6 films introduced at the Film Festival include: Io Capitano (I am the Captain) by director Matteo Garrone; Palazzina Laf (Cold Rolling Mill) by Michele Riondino; Zamora by Neri Marcorè; Quell'estate con Irène (Summer with Irène) by Carlo Sironi; Rapito (Abduction) by Marco Bellocchio; La Chimera (The Unrealized Dream) by Alice Rohrwacher.
