Becket the cat, initially alone and abandoned in a cat shelter, manages to escape one day and is accidentally run over by Rose, who, relieved at not having hurt him, decides to adopt him. A strong bond forms between Rose and Becket. But all the cuddles Becket receives make him a lazy and spoiled cat who doesn’t realize how lucky he was to meet Rose. This careless attitude of his leads him to unexpectedly lose his ninth and final life. When he finds himself at the gates of Paradise, all he has to do is beg the guardian to give him one last chance. He asks him for one last life, the tenth, to live. He just wants to go back to Rose and the perfect life before her. After much insistence, the guardian of Paradise indulges him but instead of giving him a tenth life, he gives him another nine. What Becket doesn’t know is that these nine lives will allow him to reincarnate each time in a different animal, a mouse, a cockroach, a skunk, a dog, etc. This journey will be a real life lesson for him, from a spoiled and self-centered cat, Becket will become an altruistic being capable of empathy and generosity. By wearing different clothes in each life, he will learn to stay close to those he loves and to sacrifice himself for others.
The evening in Piazza del Popolo at 9.30 pm is dedicated to a film that is in the hearts of many and which turns 30 in 2024, FORREST GUMP by Robert Zemeckis. a global success that marked one of the highest grossing records of the season and which on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of its release in theaters returns to the big screen accompanied by two exceptional guests.
Cult work – which boasts thirteen nominations and six Oscars ® including best film and director, screenplay a Eric Roth and best male protagonist a Tom Hanks – FORREST GUMP influenced the collective imagination. It all begins on that iconic bench, at the bus stop, where a candid narrator entertains unsuspecting neighbors by recounting small and large events experienced in his young life. In his words, thirty years of American history flow through crucial meetings and events of which he was an unaware witness. The famous lines remain iconic “Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re going to get!” or “Stupid is whoever acts stupid” – indelible in the memory also thanks to the unmistakable Italian voice of Francesco Pannofinofamous voice actor of many films that have made the history of cinema and who will go on stage to present the film and talk about his experience as Forrest Gump. But in the minds of many, the heartfelt “Run Forrest, run!” with which little Jenny encourages Forrest to run as fast as the wind. And to pay homage to that famous race, the Italian ultramarathoner and marathon runner will be the guest of honor on stage Giorgio Calcaterrathree-time world champion of the 100 km ultramarathon and winner of the 100 km del Passatore 12 consecutive times.
The screening is preceded by the video clip CHE T’O DICO A FA’ – Angelina Mango (Italy, 2023, 3’32”) by Asia & Nicola, one of the six video clips finalists and protagonists of the section Vedomusica chosen from the best 20 Italian video clips, defined and voted through a special social contest. The winner will be chosen by a professional jury composed of Fiaba Di Martino, Fabio Bobbio and Carlo Griseri.
Changing location, at 9.30pm at The Enchanted Sailorganized with the collaboration of the Fondazione Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia – Cineteca Nazionale, cinema on the beach proposes the vision of I, I, I… AND THE OTHERS by Alessandro Blasetti.
The evening continues to the rhythm of Wall of Soundat the stroke of midnight at Palazzo Gradari, with MARCO CESARINI & HENRY MCLUSKY providing sound for SOGNI POMERIDIANI (USA, 1943) by Maya Deren feat. Filippo Biagianti, who is entrusted with directing and modulating the video in real time.
