We are almost there, the Village of the Rome Film Festival is a site especially for ideas thanks to the artistic direction of Antonio Monda.

Tomorrow opens the 13th edition, the fourth signed by Antonio Monda, which distances itself from the traditional Festival and no bells and whistles offers us a rich collection of international cinema. The image of Peter Sellers of NOIR icon crowds out there, and many have turned their noses, but for this to be the connotation of this 13th edition.

showcased 38 films including documentaries also (4) with a strong American presence (16). Below presence as Britain and France 4 e 3 film respectively, while Italy is present in the Official Selection with DOC tuna Diary of John Zoppeddu and the highly anticipated The Vizio of Edoardo De Angelis Hope (however only Italian selected the Tokyo Film Festival which begins on 25 next October).

Among mention Michael Moore American, the irreverent documentary that presents FAHRENHEIT 11/9, it offers us an unprecedented election version of Donald Trump for President of the USA.

Do not miss the theme about family relationships in Beatiful Boy Felix Van Groeningen and Three Identical Strangers Tim Wardle.

Finally a series on Watergate Charles Ferguson puts in place the boxes on the scandal that saw US President Nixon investigated.

To close the festival on films by Paolo Virzì (FC) Magic Nights. A noir in the background of the '90 World Cup.

So many close encounters that after just half an hour of opening the box office were sold out.

The one with the very Italian Martin Scorsese is literally unapproachable and in fact the same will be present and will replicate the duet with Antonio Monda-

But the actresses Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert have sold out their live event.

Interesting meeting with the Artistic Director Thierry Fremaux Cannes on the new frontier of audiovisual enjoyment thanks to Netflix. In fact, compared to the Venice, Cannes is not so much inclined to openings for new ways to make use of audiovisual content. Who is right and wrong?

We intrigues both the master class of Giuseppe Tornatore, Italian director appreciated in Italy and abroad.

As usual Mario Sesti lead section CRITICAL CONDITION. This year the theme is TEACH, AND LEARN, TO LOVE THE CINEMA. The new challenge facing the rampant misinformation. A new material should be included in secondary education: the cinema!

The opening Film BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE Drew Goddard is the banner of the party with a final

to discover which we will give you an outline tomorrow.

Finally it seems that only in the words of Antonio Monda you can describe this beautiful festival that is Rome tomorrow for 11 days will awaken the conscience of all of us:

"In addition to art, we opened the doors to poetry, with an event that focuses on the relationship it has with the cinema, . . . . Along with the usual enhancement of genres, This year we paid particular attention to strong and compelling topics, such as Holocaust remembrance (three unpublished documentaries in addition to the memory of Claude Lanzmann), but also to racism, the political debate and the certainty of a truly fair justice: who knows me knows that attaches enormous importance to elegance, lightness, e, as I said the irony, but myself knows that cinema is also a memory, commitment and witness ".

Finally we report an excerpt of the substantial program of XVIma edition of Alice in the City section and parallel independent of the Rome Film Festival
