After the huge crowd in Piazza del Popolo for Sergio Castellitto and his “Don’t Move” and last night’s screening of the cult film “Four Weddings and a Funeral”, the third day of the New Cinema Exhibition which this year sees Multi-service brands as main sponsors. We start this morning at 10 at Palazzo Gradari with the presentation of the volume Carlo Delle Piane. The man I loved by Anna Crispino in the presence of the author, followed by a round table with Ficarra and Picone (photo) moderated by Pedro Armocida and Giulio Sangiorgio, editors of the monograph “Laughing seriously. Ficarra’s cinema and films and Picone”. In the afternoon, from 4pm at the Sperimentale, the films of the retrospective dedicated to the two Sicilian artists continue with “Il primo Natale” and “Andiamo aQuell Paese”.
followed in the evening by special screenings of two films created in Pesaro with “Mondo Altro” by Viola Bartolini and “Le belle estati” by Mauro Santini, in the presence of their respective directors. Santini’s “beautiful summers” was created with the students of the Mengaroni high school in Pesaro. The film is the rereading of two novels by Cesare Pavese (“La bella estate” and “The devil on the hills”) implemented by students who appropriate Pavesian themes and figures, reflecting themselves in the characters and transposing post-war Turin in contemporary Pesaro. Presented in competition at the Turin Film Festival, the film was recently awarded as best feature film at the Sicilia Queer Filmfest.
At 4pm the Pesaro Film Festival Circus starts at Astra with the Animare la Mostra del Cinema di Pesaro laboratory with Giulia Betti and at 6pm the screening of the film Les Inseparables by Jérèmie Degruson, in the original language with oversound performed by the actor Andrea Fugaro. In Piazza del Popolo (9.30pm), “The only concrete reality – Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti” by Carlo Fusani which precedes the Emergency event with the screening of “Uomo in mare” by Igor Borghi, in the presence of Michela Greco and Roberto Macaroni.
Following this, Ficarra and Picone will meet the public in the Square to present the film they directed and starred in, “L’ora legale”. To close a very rich day, in the suggestive courtyard of Palazzo Gradari, at midnight, Il Muro del Suono – dedicated to Zagor Camillas – a mix of cinema and notes, between live soundtracks and exclusive performances with Paolo Spaccamonti and Ramon Moro who provide soundtracks for Die Puppe by Ernst Lubitsch.
