Cinema Italiano: Italian Film Festival
28th June - 5th July
Starting this June, The Vic is proud to be hosting special screenings for the Seventh Edition of the Italian Film Festival NZ. With a curated programme that combines the best in contemporary Italian cinema with masterpieces from Italy’s rich cinematic tradition.
Wed 29 June 6.000pm
Roberto Rossellini, the most famous film director of Italian neorealism, was a genius of cinema and a conspicuously unconventional father. His love stories flooded the front pages of newspapers all over the planet, scandalising the rigid morality of the 1950s, and bringing to the world a large, proudly multi-ethnic and definitely extended family.
