Country Italy:
Aerial
A ritualistic and dizzying audio-visual poem, following singer Lei Lowe on an eruptous pilgrimage through ancient Sicilian landscapes where she communes with the Earth in search of emancipation.
Aida Berisha / Denmark & Italy / 2026 / World Premiere
Below the Clouds
In the shadow of Vesuvius, Italian maestro Gianfranco Rosi follows the everyday lives of the Neapolitans. The final film in the award-winning Italy trilogy, told in sublime black-and-white images.
Gianfranco Rosi / Italy / 2025
Bouchra
An animated autofiction from Morocco, in which a queer filmmaker calls home from NYC to her mother in Casablanca to talk things out. Truly original, and truly cool.
Meriem Bennani & Orian Barki / Italy, Morocco & United States / 2025
Errabonda
An experimental and beautiful 16mm film about an organic Italian farm, where soil, weeds, and microbes leave their mark on both the fields and the film itself.
Emma Harris / Denmark & Italy / 2026 / World Premiere
I Want Her Dead
In a Calabrian village, peace is threatened by a long-standing family feud between two sisters-in-law. A tragicomic portrait of a tiny town where the art of the melodrama is alive and well.
Gianluca Matarrese / Italy / 2025
Waking Hours
Smugglers transport people across the border to Europe during an endless, sleepless night. A cinematic film shot in pitch darkness, which should be experienced in the cinema at all costs.
Filippo Foscarini & Federico Camamrata / Italy / 2025
