Co-presented with New Italian Cinema Events, the Seattle-Perugia Sister City Association, and sponsored by Pagliacci, New Italian Cinema celebrates the rich cinematic tradition of Italy and will bring eight of the country's newest directors and films to audiences in Seattle.
A prestigious jury selects the best Italian entries from the year’s major European film festivals to make their US debuts and compete for the City of Florence Award. Attendees will enjoy not only a vibrant cinema showcase, but an immersion into Italy’s rich and storied culture with directors present to illuminate their work in lively question-and-answer sessions.
