In the organizer's words:
The Italian Cultural Institute Cologne presents the four-part film series In Sala, dedicated to the theme "(Not) Negligible Moments of Happiness" and moderated by Eugenio Riversi. Cineclub Italiano.
In everyday life, the "moments not to be neglected", which only at first glance appear to be associated with small expectations, hopes, fears, joys and anxieties and are usually shared with loved ones, are in fact particularly valuable. Francesco Piccolo has become one of the most important screenwriters of the latest generation of Italian cinema with this message, which is set out in his successful series of books on "moments to be neglected". Our moderated film series therefore begins with Daniele Luchetti's Momenti di trascurabile felicità (2019), in which Francesco Piccolo's thesis was realized on film.
A similar idea is behind Settembre (2022), the heart-wrenching, dramatic film debut by Giulia Louise Steigerwalt, another former screenwriter, which explores human life in all its facets.
Our spring film series is rounded off with two films marking different anniversaries:
On April 9, we will be showing Luciano Salce's Fantozzi (with German subtitles by IIC Zurich), which was released 50 years ago and is probably the most influential Italian cinema comedy ever on the collective consciousness.
On April 29, we will pay tribute to the 80th anniversary of Italy's liberation and the end of the Second World War with Una questione privata (2017) by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, based on the Resistenza novel of the same name by Beppe Fenoglio (1963).
The films will be presented in German/Italian. Afterwards there will be a small drink in the foyer of the Institute.
Attendance is free of charge.
The historian Eugenio Riversi has been working at the Institute of History at the University of Bonn since 2011. Since 2013, he has also been involved in the programming and presentation of the "Italian Film Series" at the Institute of Romance Studies there.
