About the Event
Time to trade Vancouver’s winter clouds for the sunny skies of Sicily, Sardinia, Naples, Rome, and Tuscany - seen through the eyes of Italy’s best filmmakers, past and present.
Italian Film Week within VIFF 2022 features 14 films, seven new releases, seven classics from masters like Fellini, Visconti, De Sica, and Monicelli, showing here in restored 4K digital prints.
There’s a spotlight on actor Toni Servillo, who stars in four of this year’s selections, including the poignant prison drama The Inner Cage and a biopic about the legendary comic actor Eduardo Scarpetta, The King of Laughter, as well as his landmark performance in The Great Beauty.
The opening film and the centerpiece of the selection is Emma Dante’s widely acclaimed The Macaluso Sisters, winner of the Italian Film Critics Syndicate Best Film award.
