Fondazione Cinema per Roma presents the December programme for Casa del Cinema.
For the holidays, the schedule will be inaugurated on Sunday December 1st by the series “Tutti a tavola” (“Dinner’s on the table!”) featuring a series of fourteen films by directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Marco Ferreri, Luis Buñuel, Ettore Scola and Robert Altman, in which the pleasure, the rituals, the excesses of dining, conviviality and the tangle of ties between dinner guests play a key role in the narrative.
Starting on Monday December 2nd will be the screenings of the “Film of the Month”, Reading Lolita in Tehran by Eran Riklis, which premiered at the most recent Rome Film Fest, and won the FS Audience Award and Special Jury Prize for its cast of women.
Casa del Cinema will be hosting two events in view of the coming Jubilee: Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Dekalog, consisting of ten extraordinary medium-length films inspired by the Ten Commandments, and Location Hunting in Palestine (Sopralluoghi in Palestina per Il Vangelo secondo Matteo) by Pier Paolo Pasolini, the journey of the great artist from Bologna through Palestine, Israel and Jordan searching for locations in which to set one of his most famous films, The Gospel According to Matthew.
Thirty years after the death of Gian Maria Volonté, Casa del Cinema will dedicate two days to the memory of the great actor, with the screening of Open Doors (Porte Aperte) by Gianni Amelio and the documentary Volonté – L’uomo dai mille volti by Francesco Zippel.
The programme of the month will end with the presentation of two books: “Fantasmi urbani – La memoria del cinema di Roma” by Silvano Curcio, promoted by Titanus for the 120th anniversary of its foundation (published by Palombo Editore) and “Silenzio. Le sette vite di Diana Karenne” by Melania G. Mazzucco (Einaudi, Supercoralli).
The collaboration between Fondazione Cinema per Roma and the Galleria Borghese continues with the screening of The Mill and the Cross by Lech Majewski.
