Each year New Italian Cinema celebrates the rich cinematic tradition of Italy and brings the country’s newest directors and films to Bay Area audiences. The 2010 edition opens with Ferzan Ozpetek’s humorous drama Loose Cannons and features a three-film retrospective of this talented and prolific auteur. Closing the festival is Paolo Virzì’s moving new film The First Beautiful Thing, and in between are seven recent films by breakthrough filmmakers vying for the City of Florence Award. Join the Film Society—and the many filmmakers who will be present—for this weeklong feast of wonderful Italian films.
