In recent years we have seen a new generation of Italian filmmakers emerge, armed with a freshness of spirit and originality of vision.

Our season of New Italian Cinema brings the work of some of the most compelling of these talents to Dublin screens. From returning favourite Giuseppe Tornetore’s suspenseful THE UNKNOWN , to Salvatore Maira’s innovative, one-take VALZER, - this programme amply demonstrates how this ever-changing national cinema is experiencing an exciting rebirth.
