About
In our mini film festival, the first event is a double bill. Doors open at 5.30pm
We kick off with 'Stay Behind' a short film by Federica Schiavello. 6-6.15pm
We follow with Anime Nere (Black Souls) by Francesco Munzi; the story of three brothers, the sons of shepherds, with ties to the 'ndrangheta', the local branch of the Mafia – and their divided souls.
Luigi, the youngest, is an international drug dealer. Rocco, Milanese by adoption, is to all appearances a middle-class businessman. Luciano, the eldest, harbours a pathological fantasy of pre-industrial Calabria and engages in lonely, melancholy dialogue with the dead. His twenty-year-old son Leo belongs to the lost generation, who have no identity. The only thing Leo has inherited from his ancestors is resentment and for him, the future is a train that has already left the station.
After a trivial argument, he carries out an act of intimidation against a bar protected by a rival clan. Is this simple youthful foolishness and how does it tie dimensions between the distant past and modern life together? Film in Italian with English subtitles.
Doors open 5.30pm
