Spring is with us - and as the Show Me Shorts organisation makes ready its 40 film for public consumption, The Italian Film Festivalis gearing up for its premiere at the end of September.
It's the 14th annual event (which is the only national one) and will take in seven cities over from September to December.
Festival director Cav. Tony Lambert says :"This year's festival selection represents the broadest offering of films to date, continuing to fulfill my objective of extending the scope of the festival. Whilst romantic comedies are my first choice for selection as I think the Italians make the best 'romcoms' in the business, I want to bring other genres that demonstrate the rich variety of Italian cinema, including thrillers, documentaries, drama, comedy, dramatisations and historical drama. These are all represented in this year's festival; a line-up of films that offers something for everyone.Viva il cinema italiano!"
17 films have been selected for the festival this year - and they are:
Her Whole Life Ahead (Tutta la vita davanti)
The Girl by the Lake (La ragazza del lago)
The Deity (Il Divo)
Talk to Me of Love (Parlami d'amore)
Piano Solo
Matchmakers (Agente matrimoniale)
