About the Event
IO Capitano film trailer HERE
In this acclaimed film which won top directing and acting prizes at the Venice Film Festival and which has been nominated for Best International Feature Film at this years Oscars, writer-director Matteo Garrone presents a "reverse shot" of the immigration experience while unfurling an epic and cinematographically magnificent odyssey from West Africa to Italy. The story is told through the mind’s eye and experiences of the two teenagers who yearn for a brighter future in Europe.
Between their dreams and reality lies a treacherous journey through a labyrinth of checkpoints, the scorched Saharan desert and the vast waters of the Mediterranean where thousands before them have perished.
A co-production between Italy, France and Belguim
"If there is a more profound MOMENT at this Festival, or even this year I'd like to see it." Deadline
