Contemporary Italian Cinema 2023
With the forthcoming one, in 2023, the series of collaborations between the Italian Cultural Institute and the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre is extended to nine. Nine editions during which the Institute and the cultural hub of the Liverpool City Council has offered the Western area of Sydney a wide and qualitative choice of feature films starting with the masterpieces of Neorealism and continuing with the retrospectives dedicated to Mastroianni and Fellini, and with the screening of the most recent works by many Italian directors, thus offering the ever-large audience a cross-section of contemporary Italy.
This year, the series is entitled Italy at the dawn of the third millennium with a clear reference to the now consolidated choice of proposing a series of films by directors, women and men, whose cameras scrutinize the events, including private ones, of Italians of today, recounting today’s events of a true, lively, sometimes contradictory and yet modern Italy. With one exception: this year we wanted to include an Australian production, that Palazzo di Cozzo by the Italian-Australian director Madeleine Martiniello, which nonetheless tells of a self-made man, an Italian immigrant who found success and well-being in Australia.
The program includes:
- Friday 28 April, 7.30 pm – A castle in Italy by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, 2013
- Friday 26 May, 7.30 pm – Palazzo di Cozzo by Madeleine Martiniello, 2021
- Friday 30 June, 7,30 pm – Perfetti sconosciuti by Paolo Genovese, 2016
- Friday 28 July, 7.30 pm – Come le tartarughe di Monica Dugo, 2022
- Friday 25 August, 7.30 pm – Perfetta illusione by Pappi Corsicato, 2022
- Friday 27 October, 7.30 pm – I nostri ieri by Andrea Papini, 2022
- Friday 24 November, 7.30 pm – Santa Lucia by Marco Chiappetta, 2021
We are therefore pleased, once again, together with the management of the CPAC and the City of Liverpool, to invite the public to a cinema hall.
