Grand opening of the festival! We are very happy to invite you to a truly powerful entrance, that is, a special screening of the Italian film "Piranhas", awarded the Silver bear at the Berlin festival. The film is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Roberto Saviano. This is an insightful story of teenage gangs from the suburbs of Naples, hungry today, immediately, for power and power. Director Claudio Giovannesi will be our guest at the opening gala of the two banks.
We will remain in The berlinare circle and present the "synonyms" of Director and screenwriter Nadav Lapid. Will the main character be able to avoid his own personality? Will a trip to another country and giving up the native language make him a different person? We invite you to find out the answers to these questions. In a small cinema, the first film of the Director's retrospective of Kazimir Kutz, one of the largest Polish filmmakers, who died last year. We will show the "silence" of 1963, a poignant portrait of the poor post-war Polish community. Titular silence is the choice of an old priest who can, but does not want to, clear a young boy of unfairly charged charges.
We are also launching an international short film competition, the only competition at the festival other than the audience plebiscite. Among the thirty-four qualified films were those that were produced m.in. UK, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Polish. This is an important voice of young but very conscious filmmakers, from a few minutes of animation to half-hour forms of cinema. We invite you to get acquainted with films that are diverse in formal terms-fun, intriguing, touching, but, above all, condensed.
A movie theater that is open to everyone is a screening in a movie theater in a small market. The first is the poignant painting "My beautiful son" by Felix van Groeningen. The film, which is an adaptation of two books written from the point of view of a father and son about their love relationship, about the strength of the family, disappointments, hope and unconditional acceptance.
Saturday is also a rich program of related events. At 13.30 we invite you to the black Red White salon for the opening conference 13. two Banks of water. Evening, in turn, will belong to Claudio Genovesi that will give your lesson movie. "Cinema lesson-confessions of a film Director" is a special form of meeting our special guests with the festival audience. The creators tell about their Hobbies, artistic sins, and secrets of the craft.
At 21: 00 we invite you in turn to the Pearl festival club at the Old Klezmer Trio. The band performs Klezmer music in Yiddish, based on songs by the legendary new York band The Klezmatics. The singer's charismatic voice, the pianist's perfect playing, and the drummer's impeccable rhythm make the listener doubt that this cascade of phenomenal sounds comes from only three musicians.
