Benvenuti to this year’s edition of the Italian Film Festival Scotland supported by the Italian Cultural Institute in Edinburgh.
In the mix are titles by such world-class directors as Giuseppe Tornatore, Michele Placido, Marco Bellocchio, Francesa Archibugi, and Davide Ferrario as well as exciting newcomer Federico Bondi. Also on the menu, after Spaghetti Westerns it’s time to taste Macaroni Combat, the war movie rip-off which inspired Quentin Tarantino. All this plus a four-film tribute to the legend known affectionately as Il Mattatore (spotlight chaser) – Vittorio Gassman.
All films are in Italian with English subtitles.
