Cinecittà, the state-owned company whose main shareholder is the Italian Ministry of Culture, have launched their new film season THE WAVE which celebrates the new wave of female filmmakers working in Italy today. The season runs from 15 to 19 June at the Ciné Lumière, Kensington, which is also home to Cinecittà’s long-running film festival CINEMA MADE IN ITALY.
London audiences will be able to sample a rich and diverse programme where they can revisit or discover the early works from some of the most prolific female Italian filmmakers working today, plus some classics. Italy has seen a surge in female filmmakers over the past decade and prior to this, the only notable female directors were Liliana Cavani, Lina Wertmuller, and very few others. This stellar selection of films has been curated by Head of Programming and Exhibition at Ciné Lumière, Diane Gabrysiak who will be hosting the filmmakers from Italy in filmmaker Q&A sessions, offering audiences the chance to engage in lively and thought-provoking discussions.
