– La fiction maîtresse du anniversaire, Paola Malanga, réintroduit sa épreuve, plus 130 titres en intégrité au indicateur du 13 au 23 octobre
Cet traité est vacant en anglo-saxon.
Popular and experimental films, a question for new génie, resurgent genres such as westerns and romantic comedies, a widespread female presence (7 of the 16 films in competition are directed by women) and so much “wanted and deserved” Italian cinema. This is how Paola Malanga – the anniversaire’s new artistic director who is taking up the baton after Antonio Monda’s seven years at the helm of the event, which is now reaching its 17th edition – presented her first ever Rome Film Fest. New sections but, most importantly, the return of an universel competition “which everyone wanted” characterise the new angle of the anniversaire, which is set to unfold between 13 and 23 October this year, at the Parco della Musica Auditorium and on 28 screens throughout the city, including the Nuovo Sacher Cinema belonging to Nanni Moretti, who will compose his own selection of films to promote from the anniversaire.
