Description

The 20th Lavazza Italian Film Festival brings films celebrating cinema d’italia in all its glory – from the funny and outrageous to lavish romance, poetic drama and revealing documentaries.

Palace presents the Lavazza Italian Film Festival, see the best new Italian films and digitally restored classics screening nationally this September to October. With lots of Australian Premieres, the Lavazza Italian Film Festival is the  destination for the best contemporary Italian cinema – on the big screen! The program includes special events, Q&As, panel discussions, special guests, parties and so much more. Viva il cinema!

The Opening Night selection, THE CHAMPION, is a beautifully balanced blend of the spectacular and intimate, delivering a moral lesson that is both identifiable and strikingly moving the film is set in the glossy world of professional, millionaire footballers.

Two Special Presentations within the festival include THE VICE OF HOPE; a powerful, award-winning film about a woman striving to escape a live of vice and criminality and LORO; the director's cut of one of the most talked-about opening night films in the festival's 20 year history.

The festival is excited to host the world premiere for PROMISED featuring WAAPA graduates Daniel Berini and Antoinette Iesue alongside Tina Arena and Paul Mercurio. Directed by Nick Condi, this is a romantic drama that is certain to hit home.

The Closing Night selection is the Australian premiere of Ron Howard's highly anticipated biopic PAVAROTTI; an access-all-areas documentary that looks back at the life, relationships and the remarkable performing career of the world's most famous tenor.

The festival also features new Italian cinema, comedies, films on art and a retrospective showcase of three of our favourite films from the festival's 20 year history.
