This annual film festival offers an Italian perspective on climate change, patriarchy, immigration and of course, love.
Claudia Gusmano stars as Lia in"Pimadonna " a film inspired by the real life case of Franca Viola, a young Sicilian woman who, in the 1960s, challenged Italy's"matrimonio riparatore" that would have forced her to marry her rapist.
Laruccia's vibrant presence is indeed missed but SDIFF keeps his legacy alive by once again showcasing films that reveal an Italian perspective. But this year that perspective is turned to such diverse themes as history, climate change, immigration, damnation and redemption as well as standing up to patriarchy.tackles climate change through the lens of science fiction as it presents a near future where Rome is dealing with extreme drought and disease.
"That was a brutal law," Iannotta said."But Franca Viola said no. No, thanks. I don't want to do that. First, her family was opposing her decision, but her father really helped her to carry on. And she became, and she's still, a symbol for the power of women to go against this brutal form of patriarchy that is still on in societies everywhere, also here in the states. Let's think about the difficulties and the attack towards women rights at-large and still in Italy.
