Screening of Italy in a Day – Un giorno da italiani
Directed by Gabriele Salvatores, 2014
Monday 27th May – 2.30pm
Trinity Long Room Hub
Oscar-winning director Gabriele Salvatores has created a touching mosaic of life in Italy during one day. On October 26th 2013, Italians were asked to record and send in videos via their smartphones or video cameras. The result is a collage of 632 videos exposing everyday Italians’ hopes and fears. This experiment portrays Italy through the eyes of Italians, going inside their homes and letting them decide what to show and share. The engaging insights range from the birth of a child to the breathtaking eruption of Mount Etna. A kaleidoscopic portrait of a troubled but vibrant country.
In Italian with English subtitles. Introduction by Clodagh Brooke, Sarah Culhane (TCD) and Carlo Gentile (RAI Cinema).
Free admission, booking recommended.
