DISCOVERING ANTONIO PIETRANGELI
The Rome Film Fest pays tribute to the figure and the work of Antonio Pietrangeli, with a series of extraordinary films that, unlike many others made in the 50s and 60s, have no aged over time. There are very few directors like Pietrangeli, who have shown his degree of sensibility in bringing the soul of women to the screen, and even fewer who have been able to weave poetry and culture into an industrial conception. Pietrangeli’s cinema remains an unidentified object in our historiography. Leafing through the writings of film critics and historians, it is hard if not impossible to find Antonio Pietrangeli’s name in the pantheon of Italian cinema. Perhaps his story is simply that of a filmmaker who loved women, and realized that to capture how rapidly they were changing, he could and would have to shatter the rules of established film genres. The films selected for the retrospective, curated by the Istituto Luce Cinecittà and the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia/Cineteca Nazionale, include masterpieces such as Io la conoscevo bene (I Knew Her Well), La visita (The Visit), Adua e le compagne (Hungry for Love), and gems to rediscover such as Il sole negli occhi (Empty Eyes), Lo scapolo (The Bachelor), La parmigiana (The Girl from Parma). During the Fest, there will be a presentation of the book Antonio Pietrangeli, il regista che amava le donne, in a double Italian and English edition, edited by Piera Detassis Emiliano Morreale, Mario Sesti, and published by the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia/Cineteca Nazionale, Fondazione Cinema per Roma and Istituto Luce Cinecittà in collaboration with Edizioni Sabinae.

PABLO LARRAÍN RETROSPECTIVE
The 10th Rome Film Fest will dedicate a complete retrospective to Chilean director, screenwriter, and producer Pablo Larraín, curated by Mario Sesti, artistic coordinator of the Selection Committee.
The thirty-nine year-old Chilean auteur, a remarkable talent with the capacity to imagine and create truly unique cinema, which has led him to become, with five films to his name, one of the most interesting filmmakers of his generation, will be in Rome to meet the audience of the Auditorium and to present his work. In a trilogy with rare visual and emotional impact, Larraín adopted original perspectives to tell the story of the rise and fall of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. A parabola that went from Tony Manero (2008), presented at Cannes and winner of the Best Film Award at the Torino Film Festival, to Post Mortem (2010), in competition at the Venice Film Festival, to No, starring Gael García Bernal, nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film. His outstanding ability to provoke aversion and empathy, dismay and entrancement, in the characters and spaces of his films, emerged early in his debut film, Fuga, and remained unchanged through El Club, which won the Silver Bear in Berlin this year and will represent Chile at the next Academy Awards.
