Biografilm Festival, the International Film Festival entirely dedicated to biographies and life stories, taking place in Bologna from 7 to 17 June, will also be the showcase for some new Green Film certified films.
In the Biografilm Italia competition, on Sunday 9 June, you can find the story of “Sindrome Italia“ , first film by Ettore Mengozzi.
“Sindrome Italia” produced by Bloom Media House, East Movies s.r.l., Antropotopia s.r.l. World premiere, Opera prima. (Doc / Italy, Romania / 2024 / 65’).
The documentary follows the lives of Corina, a woman affected by “Syndrome Italia” after years of working in Italy and who is slowly trying to build a new life for herself after so much suffering, and that of Natalia, a woman who is instead experiencing on her own skin the harsh conditions of working as a caregiver in Italy: isolated, thousands of miles away from her children, alone. Two women who reflect each other over and over again and who struggle for a different future.
The section “Special Events” will include screenings of “Non riattaccare” and “La Storia il romanzo dello scandalo”.
“Non riattaccare” by Manfredi Lucibello, with the award-winning actress Barbara Ronchi. Fiction (Italy / 2023 / 92’), produced by Mompracem.
A film built around only two characters and a single face present on the screen. An on-the-road thriller and psychological drama that drags you into the maelstrom of a nightmarish night, also thanks to an extraordinary leading actress.
“La Storia il romanzo di uno scandalo” directed by Silvia Luzi, produced by Ga&a Productions. Doc, World premiere (Italy / 2024 / 52’).
Director Silvia Luzi portrays an extraordinary writer, Elsa Morante, and allows us to rediscover one of the masterpieces of 20th-century literature. A new look at a particularly fierce era in Italian history, which is also important for understanding our times.
