11th New Italian Cinema
November 11 – 18, 2007
Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinema

The New Italian Cinema festival is an eight-day series dedicated to
celebrating the rich cinematic tradition of Italy and bringing the
country's newest directors and films to audiences in San Francisco.
The films in this year's program range from riotous romantic
comedies to taut political dramas, and investigate topics including
fashion, finance, employment, family ties, desire, religion,
ambition, illness and terrorism, which affect Italians from every
walk of life. New Italian Cinema features a competitive series of
seven feature films and seven shorts by emerging directors, a
tribute to acclaimed director Francesca Comencini and the Closing
Night screening of Flying Lessons, the newest film by the beloved
director Francesca Archibugi. The 14 emerging directors will compete
for the prestigious City of Florence Award and two winners (Best
Features and Best Short) will be announced at the Closing Night
ceremony.
