Contemporary Italian Film Festival

One of the highlights of the February programming at the cineclube is the curatorship in partnership with Círculo Ítalo Brasileiro (CIB) and Foco em Cinema: the Mostra Mostra de Cinema Italiano Contemporâneo. There are five films that are distinct from each other, both thematically and stylistically, and that present the creative breadth of Italian cinema of the last decades, emerging from the Italian political-social instabilities. The films are shown on the 04th, 06th, 07th, 13th and 14th of February, always at 19pm. The sessions are mediated by Bruno Andrade (writer and editor of Revista Foco) and Silvio Saffaro (member of the CIB), both partners of the Foundation's film club.
