Italian Film Festival: Anni Felici
San Diego Italian Film Festival’s mission is to create, through Cinema, a community enriched by Italian Culture -- to showcase not just Italian movies but an Italian perspective.
The eighth annual San Diego Italian Film Festival showcases the best of new Italian film with a series of premieres ranging from engaging dramas and entertaining comedies to documentaries telling unique stories. All the films featured but one were produced in Italy within the past 18 months, and many are regional or even U.S. premieres.
feStivale 2014 begins with Anni Felici ("Those Happy Years"), which has only ever been seen within the U.S. at the Palm Springs Film Festival. The festival continues with nine more Italian films of 2013 and 2014, many of which have never been shown in San Diego, including incisive documentaries reflecting life and society in Italy today. Venues include the Museum of Photographic Arts, La Paloma Theatre, and the UltraStar Theatre at Hazard Center.
