15 – 19 June
The Wave: Italian Women Filmmakers 2010/2021
London, Ciné Lumière
Cinecittà, ICI London and Ciné Lumière team up to celebrate Italian women filmmakers.
If only a handful of women reached international recognition in the twentieth century, a new ‘wave’ of Italian female directors has started to garner prestigious awards from major film festivals in the past decade.
The Wave is a festival aiming to showcase the outstanding fiction and documentary films of directors such as Alice Rohrwacher, Emma Dante or Chiara Bellosi, along with tributes to the pioneers who paved the way and an homage to the late actor Monica Vitti, the “Queen of Italian cinema”.
Each feature-length film will also be preceded by rarely seen short animation films also directed by women.
Within the framework of Fare Cinema
