#RomaFF13 | Films of our lives

Again, this year the artistic director Antonio Monda and the members of the selection committee – Mario Sesti (Artistic Coordinator), Richard Peña, Giovanna Fulvi, Alberto Crespi, Francesco Zippel, Valerio Carocci – will offer the audience a brief but suggestive anthology of “films to love”. After westerns and musicals, in 2018 they will select their favourite noir films.
Each noir film will be introduced by a conversation featuring directors, actors, and other guests. Furthermore, before each screening at the upcoming Rome Film Fest, a scene from the most famous and beloved noir films of all times will be screened.
