The event, organised by the Embassy of Italy in Hanoi in coordination with the Asian Film Festival in Rome, aims to offer Vietnamese audiences a glimpse into Italy's contemporary cinema.
The festival will introduce Vietnamese cinema-goers to six outstanding films, spanning from drama to comedy, of which many have won accolades at prestigious festivals.
These films are “The Hummingbird” (Il Colibri’), directed by Francesca Archibugi, “Diabolik” and “Diabolik Ginko Attacks" (Diabolik Ginko All’Attaccco) by Antonio Manetti and Marco Manetti, “September” (Settembre) by Giulia Louise Steigerwalt, “Leonora” (Leonora Addio) by Paolo Taviani, and “The Return of Casanova” (Il Ritorno Di Casanova) by Gabriele Salvatores.
All films will be screened in Italian with Vietnamese subtitles, telling the tales of urban life and depicting modern Italian society in the face of new challenges while trying to connect with and maintain its age-old traditional heritage.
Tickets can be collected at Casa Italia, 18 Le Phung Hieu Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
