Join us TUESDAY, SEPT. 19, for a special screening in 101 Moffitt*, at 8 PM. Screenwriter and director Valerio Ruiz will be with us to present his short films Piazza Fellini (writer and director, 2011), and Roma, Napoli, Venezia…in un crescendo rossiniano (writer, 2014; director: Lina Wertmüller).
We will be screeening the two films in Italian with English subtitles. Afterwards, there will be a Q&A session with the director, and a preview of Ruiz’s latest documentary Behind the Glasses (2015), a musical portrait that shines a spotlight on unknown aspects of the creative, visionary and groundbreaking talent of filmmaker and writer, Lina Wertmüller.
The full documentary will be screened as part of the Homage to Lina Wertmüller, organized by Cinema Italia San Francisco on the following Saturday, September 23, at the Castro Theatre.
Admission to our event is FREE, but RESERVE YOUR TICKETS NOW here, since space is limited!
The event is organized in collaboration with Amelia Antoniucci and Cinema Italia San Francisco.
