Overview
Io e il Secco
SCREENING FRIDAY, AUGUST 8th @ 7pm!
Denni has ten years and a mission to accomplish: to save his mother from the violence of his father. Small as it is, alone he cannot do it. So he decides to ask for help from someone that kill people for a living: a super-killer. The chosen person is the Skinny who is not a criminal, but a harmless drifter with a desperate need for money, who pretends to accept the assignment but only to rob the father of the child. The encounter between Denni and Secco gives rise to an adventure that oscillates between drama and comedy, a buddy movie at child height, poised between fantasy and a reality even too raw. Denni and Secco will live an experience that will lead them to question themselves on the meaning of being men, and on fear and the mystery that unites and separates fathers and sons.

Primadonna
SCREENING SATURDAY, AUGUST 9th @ 7pm!
Primadonna tells the story of Lia, a young woman who reacts to the most terrible form of violence with an act of rebellion which blows apart the social conventions of the time. In a world where the strongest dictate the rules, where mafia roots run deep and are accepted as a natural part of life, and where the powerful make decisions while the weak do as they’re told, her courage will pave the way for the fight for women’s rights. The movie is inspired by the true story of Franca Viola, a seventeen-year-old girl from Alcamo, Sicily, who, in 1965, was the first woman in Italy to say no to a “shotgun” wedding, refusing her abductor and rapist Filippo Melodia, who was the nephew of a local mafia boss.
