Cultural institution promotes Italian cinema exhibition in Cuba

Havana, Jun 9 (Prensa Latina) The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (Icaic) today promotes the Italian Contemporary Film Festival, exhibited at the Chaplin Cinema in the capital until next Saturday, June 11.

Inaugurated on the 4th with the film Il Padre D’Italia, made in 2017 by Fabio Mollo, the cycle will continue this Thursday with an afternoon of short films headed by the animated short Bagni by Laura Luchetti, about an old woman who loves order and cleaning and loves to dream.

The proposals also include other titles such as Magnesio, a fictional work by Adriano Ricci about the young gymnast Alice, Come Ieri, by a group of authors, and Battlefield, by Silvia Biagioni and Andrea Laudate, released in 2020.

According to the island’s cultural institution, the billboard also includes Teresa, by Gabriele Ciances, an eight-minute story about a middle-aged Italian man who misses his late wife and goes to a practical, moving and hard cure for his loneliness.

Forget about that, by Manuel Marini, and Fuori Programma, by Carla Oppo, close the agenda for this day of the exhibition, which includes the film La Traviata, by Mario Martone, screened on Friday, and as a climax Fiore Gemello, by Laura Luchetti.

The Orizzonti Festival on the island pays tribute to the scriptwriter, poet, journalist and painter Cesare Zavattini, considered one of the main theoreticians and defenders of the neorealist current, and to the region of Lazio, bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea.
