Selection in competition – April 27 at 9 p.m. @TEATRO ASTORIA
For the tenth edition of the Ennesimo Film Festival, the Family Affair – City of Fiorano Award section becomes a special event: it will inaugurate the festival with a premiere screening at Astoria Theatre.
This award, which was established to strengthen the bond with the community during the pandemic, has explored the various facets of family through cinema over the years. While anthropology recognizes family as the fundamental institution of every society, contemporary cinema offers us a mirror of its transformations. This year’s selection doesn’t make an exception. It displays short films that range from mother-daughter relationships challenged by extreme situations, to love stories blossoming in war contexts and environmental conflicts. We will explore the bond between fathers and sons and between rooted traditions and journeys at the discovery of new horizons. Each film is a window on a peculiar family universe, which encourages us to reflect on dynamics, challenges, and emotions that define this fundamental nucleus of our existence. A touching journey in which family reveals itself in its complexity and beauty, through the eyes of directors from all over the world who venture into the narration of the human.
