9 x 10 Novanta-(French sub-titles)-ITALIAN CONTEMPORARY FILM FESTIVAL

Genre: Documentary

Quality: Digital

Synopsis

The Istituto Luce turned ninety in 2014, and to celebrate its anniversary some of the most acclaimed rising filmmakers in Italy were invited to make a small film. Each had the job of selecting ten minutes of footage from the archives. The film footage speaks of the outbreak of war, implorations of peace, landscapes, lost realities, miracles, superstitions and dreams. It’s a weave of themes: a diverse picture with one common thread that contains images from the Archives. This is not the Italy in history books, but Italy as it is (or isn’t) today, seen through sequences often filmed when our nine directors weren’t even born. This is a collection of present-day Italy through images from its past.
