Cinema Italy – The annual Italian film festival will mark its tenth anniversary this year and will be held starting April 19, 2023 at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque and other cinematheques throughout the country.
The festival, under the artistic direction of Roni Plus and Danny Moga, was held in collaboration with the Institutes of Italian Culture in Tel Aviv and Haifa, and China Cheetah in Italy.
A special spotlight will be dedicated at the festival to three of the big and old names that made Italian cinema famous in the world:
Sergio Leone, the director who is especially known for creating the spaghetti western genre. The festival will screen the documentary ‘Sergio Leone – the Italian who invented America’ (Italy 2022) directed by Francesco Zipel who will come to the festival as well as one of Leone’s well-known films: ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’.
Ennio Morricana, the great composer who wrote the important soundtracks of Italian and international films such as ‘Cinema Paradiso’ and all Sergio Leone films. The documentary film by Giuseppe Tornatore (director of ‘Cinema Paradiso’) will be screened at the ‘Enio’ festival.
Sergio Corbucci is one of the most important Italian directors and the director of ‘Django’ (Italy, 1966) which served as an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s well-known film ‘Django No Limits’. The festival will screen “Django and Django” (Italy 2021), the documentary film by Steve Della Casa and Luca Rea, including previously unpublished period materials and an interview with Tarantino. Corbucci’s film ‘The Great Silence’ (Italy 1968) with Jean-Louis Triniyan and Klaus Kinski will also be screened.
The festival will be opened by the film “Shadow of the Day”, a film by Giuseppe Piccioni that will also come to the festival.
