Film clubs celebrate National Day of New Italian Cinema
On November 26, the first National Day of New Italian Cinema will be held, promoted by CinemaItaliano.info, in collaboration with Italy’s most active film clubs, and with support in Germany from the Italian Institute of Culture in Berlin and the Deutsches Filmmuseum of Frankfurt.
It will be a day for celebrating the work of Italian directors, and the commitment and passion of those film clubs and cinemas that promote new domestic films.
"As the collective imagination is become more the multiplex run by large distributors, our initiative wants to awaken people’s attention to those places that play a fundamental role in our cinema", says Daniele Baroncelli, president of CinemaItaliano.info and creator of the National Day for New Italian Cinema.
The first National Day of New Italian Cinema has programmed 18 events throughout Italy , with screenings of 18 recent films followed by Q&As with the directors. There will also be four screenings in Germany held the same day (in Berlin, Frankfurt and Heidelberg).
