Tuesday 9 July \u2013 9.45pm
SONG OF ALL ENDS by Giovanni C. Lorusso<\/strong>
(2024, France, Italy, Lebanon, 73′) \u2013 vo Italian subtitles
Images of a rare visual power depicting the story of the everyday life in the Shatila camp of a grieving family. We are on the borders of Beirut, the Palestinian family Alhaddad was expelled from their land in 2011. During the explosion at the port of Beirut in 2020, the youngest daughter, Houda, was killed. It is the story of a painful end and of a necessary search for a new beginning.
Screening with the participation of the director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday 16 July \u2013 9.45pm
BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS by Mohamed Ben Attia<\/strong>
(2023, Tunisia, Belgium, France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, 98\u2032) \u2013 vo subtitles\u00a0English,\u00a0Italian
It is the story of Rafik who, after spending four years in prison, has only one desire: to take his son behind the mountains and show him his incredible discovery. It is the story of a man\u00a0who escapes from his flat and\u00a0conformist environment, escaping society and its principles. A vital impetus of freedom, a departure from the\u00a0conventional world, that of “political correctness” and single thought: a film that tells of fear and\u00a0at the same time\u00a0the social conventions\u00a0that govern\u00a0contemporary Tunisia and the entire world. Acclaimed at the last Venice Film Biennale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday 23 July \u2013 9.45pm
LYD by Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland\u00a0<\/strong>
(2023, Palestine, Great Britain, 78′) ov English subtitles, Italian
Beautiful documentary that follows the rise and fall of the 5,000-year-old metropolis of LYD, which was once a bustling Palestinian city, until its conquest with the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. As the film reveals its story, a chorus of characters creates a stirring tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city, and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 July \u2013 9.45pm
ELBOW by Asl\u0131 \u00d6zarslan<\/strong>
(2024, Germany, T\u00fcrkiye, France, 86′)\u00a0with English, Italian subtitles
Hazal is about to turn 18 and is acutely aware of the xenophobia and racism\u00a0that surrounds her.In constant conflict with her mother, she wants something more of hers from her life even though she knows her future doesn’t have too much in store for “people like her”. Subjected to insults, Hazal becomes increasingly embittered, but unlike many other humiliated immigrants, she does not keep her mouth shut and fights back. Debuting in the Generation section at the Berlinale, it is a coming-of-age film that shines a spotlight on the world of immigrants and stands out for its thematic variety and depth and for the excellent performance of the young actress Melia Kara. Italian\u00a0premiere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
