On the evening of 16 October, the focus will shift to the Pigneto quarter and the old Avorio cinema, a historic Roman theatre which closed down in 2009 and will re-open on a one-off basis for the duration of the festival: the first films that will be screened there, as part of the Alice/Panorama programme, will be The Wolfpack by Crystal Moselle and Street Opera by Haider Rashid. The former, which will be released in Italy on 22 October distributed by Wanted, tells the incredible true story of the six Angulo brothers, who were kept segregated from society by their father in a New York apartment and raised watching films; the latter is a foray into the world of Italian rap through the portraits of five artists who symbolise various currents and periods, one of whom, the leader of the Bestierare group, is played by Elio Germano.
