13th Italian Film Festival of Minneapolis / St. Paul: L'avventura
2022-02-27 15:00 - 17:00 | F. K. Weyerhaeuser Aud. – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
Monica Vitti, an icon of Italian cinema for generations, passed away on February 2, 2022 at the age of ninety. IFF is proud to pay tribute to this incredibly talented actress with the screening of L’avventura by Michelangelo Antonioni, the film that made Vitti a star.
An iconic piece of challenging 1960s cinema and a gripping narrative on its own terms, L’avventura concerns the enigmatic disappearance of a young woman during a yachting trip off the coast of Sicily, and the search taken up by her disaffected lover (Gabriele Ferzetti) and best friend (Monica Vitti, in her breakout role). Antonioni’s controversial international sensation is a gorgeously shot tale of modern ennui and spiritual isolation.
L’avventura won the Special Jury Prize in Cannes in 1960 “for the beauty of its images, and for seeking to create a new film language”.

13th Italian Film Festival of Minneapolis / St. Paul: The King of Laughter (Qui Rido Io)
2022-02-26 19:00 - 22:00 | F. K. Weyerhaeuser Aud. – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
At the beginning of the twentieth century, in the Naples of the Belle Époque, theaters and cinemas are on the rise. The great comedian Eduardo Scarpetta (Toni Servillo) is the box-office king. Success made him a very rich man: from his humble origins, he established himself on the scene with his comedies and the mask and character of Felice Sciosciammocca, who managed to replace Pulcinella in the hearts of the Neapolitan audiences. The theater is his life, and his complex family core gravitates around the theater, with wives, companions, lovers, legitimate and illegitimate children including Titina, Eduardo and Peppino De Filippo. At the height of his success, Scarpetta allows himself what will prove to be a dangerous gamble. He decides to parody the play “The Daughter of Iorio,” a tragedy by the greatest Italian poet of the time, Gabriele D’Annunzio. On opening night, all hell breaks loose: the play is interrupted by screams, whistles and insults from the poets and playwrights of the new generation who cry out scandal, and Scarpetta ends up being sued for plagiarism by D’Annunzio himself. And so the first historic copyright lawsuit in Italy begins. The years of the trial will be exhausting for him and his whole family, so much so that the delicate balance that held it together seems on the verge of dissolving. Everything in Scarpetta’s life seems to be going in pieces, but with a great actor’s performance he’ll manage to challenge a fate that wanted him a loser, and he’ll win his last game.

13th Annual Italian Film Festival of Minneapolis / St. Paul: Mysteries (I Misteri)
2022-02-25 19:00 - 22:00 | F. K. Weyerhaeuser Aud. – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
Four Sicilian popular feasts tell about ancient traditions and spectacular rites–ones often either not well known or considered “extremely dangerous”. In the cyclical alternation of seasons, the communities of either fishermen or farmers spend several months of preparatory work leading up to these events, and finding in them full expression of their collective identity. The ancestral link with the territory is identified with a specific natural element, richly representative of that place. The film is the final stage of the Sicily Folk Doc, a project of a documentary series devoted to Sicilian popular feasts. Its protagonist is the community that spends so many months diligently preparing for these events, finding in them their identity. The project is promoted by Associazione Culturale Scarti (known in the audiovisual sector for the organization of the International Short Film Festival Magma, or Mostra di cinema breve).

2022-02-24 19:00 - 22:00 | F. K. Weyerhaeuser Aud. – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
The 13th Italian Film Festival of Minneapolis / St. Paul opens this Thursday with IL SILENZIO GRANDE (The Great Silence) by Alessandro Gassmann. When the Primic mansion, overlooking the Gulf of Naples, falls into disrepair, Rose (Margherita Buy) decides to put it up for sale, Valerio (Massimiliano Gallo), her husband, feels alone in his protest, and slowly starts to realize he doesn’t truly know his own family, and perhaps not even himself. His journey of self-discovery ultimately leads him to a poignant truth–one that will turn the audience’s point of view upside down.

The #italianfilmfestivalmsp is presented in partnership with MSP Film Society.
