#RomaFF12 | The Rome Film Fest at the Teatro Tor Bella Monaca

November 3-5 at the Teatro Tor Bella Monaca (via Bruno Cirino)
Free admission
From November 3 to November 5, the Rome Film Fest takes its lineup to the outskirts of Rome and screens five of its titles from the 2017 program at the Teatro Tor Bella Monaca (via Bruno Cirino, free admission). 
The showcase gets underway on Friday, at 9 pm, with Sara by Stefano Pistolini and Massimo Salvucci. The film reconstructs the murder of Sara Di Pietrantonio, a young Roman resident killed by her ex-boyfriend in the early hours of May 29, 2016. Maria Vittoria Pellecchia will be presenting the film, which will be followed by a talk with filmmaker Stefano Pistolini.
On Saturday, November 4, at 7 pm, there will be a screening of Tracce di Bene by Michele Sansonna, a documentary devoted to Carmelo Bene that takes its cue from a long-lost confession by the actor, never-released footage that has emerged from the archives. Bene confides in his friend Giancarlo Dotto, his words becoming the voiceover of an imaginary autobiography. A talk follows with director Giuseppe Sansonna and Barbara Caruso.
At 9pm, the third screening on the lineup is Del resto fu un’estate meravigliosa by Luciano Michetti Ricci. It’s 1977, and the improvisations and provocations of a group of new comedians vacationing in a semi-deserted area unfold in a sort of happening filmed without a script, which often takes its cue from the morning newspapers before setting up a skit.
On Sunday, November 5 at 5 pm, the Teatro Tor Bella Monaca hosts a screening of Is It about Love? by Elisabetta Lodoli. In this documentary, three men tell their stories: their lives fell apart when they physically abused their partners, but it scared them enough that they resolved to turn over a new leaf. Three quotidian, shocking accounts that examine our sentimental education and intersect in the place where the three men sought help. The filmmaker and co-writer of the film, Federica Iacobelli, will stay to meet with audiences after the screening.
At 7:30 pm, the program wraps up with Dieci storie proprio così by Emanuela Giordano and Giulia Minoli, which looks at a country plagued by crime and corruption that can still surprise its critics nevertheless. It is a journey through an Italy that is evolving. Maria Vittoria Pellecchia will introduce the film, which will be followed by a talk with filmmakers Emanuela Giordano and Giulia Minoli.
