Wednesday October 20th, Academy Award®-winner Oliver Stone will be the protagonist of the Rome Film Fest to present his most recent work to the public.
The day will begin at 4 pm in Sala Sinopoli at the Auditorium Parco della Musica with QAZAQ – History of the Golden Man produced by Oliver Stone and directed by the Ukrainian filmmaker Igor Lopatonok. In the film, the American director also takes the role of special interviewer: sitting in front of him, Nursultan Nazarbayev, the first president of Kazakhstan, who came to power in 1990, and retired in 2019. A long – and sometimes controversial – conversation between the Hollywood master and the former leader, ranging from geopolitics to lifestyle, culture to private life. QAZAQ is enriched by a musical score composed by Carlo Siliotto, one of the most authoritative international experts on traditional Kazakh music. Stone and Lopatonok will be on the red carpet of the Fest at 3:30 pm.
Oliver Stone will then be at the MAXXI at 6:30 pm to present JFK – Destiny Betrayed, the new four-part series he made about the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Thirty years after his film JFK, Oliver Stone examines the recently declassified documents about one of the most controversial mysteries of the twentieth century. With the narrating voices of Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland, and a group of forensic scientists, doctors, ballistics experts, historians and witnesses, the evidence presented by Stone demonstrates that in the Kennedy case, the conspiracy theory is now reality.
At 8 pm, Oliver Stone will be a guest at the Teatro Palladium: the filmmaker will be on stage to present to the spectators the film JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass, the film version of the series JFK: Destiny Betrayed.
