«Io capitano»: Film Screening
Description
Sconfinare Festival 2024
Seydou and Moussa leave Africa and Dakar in an attempt to reach Europe. However, what lies ahead for them will be a contemporary odyssey: between the perils of the desert, the dangers of detention centers in Libya, and the threat of the sea, reaching European soil will be the most challenging task they could imagine. Yet, the desire for a new life will prove stronger than any boundary. With Io Capitano, Matteo Garrone offers a glimpse into the ambiguities of human nature and presents the audience with a painful, moving, and necessary story.
Event promoted in collaboration with the Circolo del Cinema Bellinzona.
The Circolo del Cinema Bellinzona was founded in 1949 and has since aimed to promote quality cinema by organizing comprehensive retrospectives dedicated to directors, actors, national cinematographies, trends, periods in film history, contemporary issues, and the relationships cinema maintains with other arts.
Holders of a ticket for the event Between Chronicle and Fable: Cinema to Tell the Truth will have free access to the screening.
Doors open at 8:30 PM. Unreserved seating.
