Italian Cinema finds a home in London!For the first time the best contemporary Italian films have a permanent silver screen in Town: twice a month, Londoners will watch new films – with English subtiles – recently released in Italy and not yet in DVD for the British audience.Never miss an Italian film again: the aim of "CinemaItaliaUK", by Clara Caleo Green in collaboration with the Sicilian journalist Francesca Marchese, is to source inner gems and create a regular appointment for Italy-addicted film lovers in London and in the UK.The venue is Genesis Cinema, in effervescent Mile End (best Tube Stepney Green) with its 5 screens and space for live music and cultural events. So far Italian films were screened mainly during Festivals, Special occasions and Institutional venues (see the excellent programme at the Italian Cultural Institute, or the French cinema Lumiere).Clara and Francesca have been working together for over a year and above all they were the minds behind the UK Premiere of "The Mafia Kills Only In The Summer" by Pierfrancesco Diliberto at the Riverside Studios. The film was sold-out, the Q&A with journalists Marco Varvello and Clare Longrigg was much appreciated and the film was also screened at the Chichester Film Festival."CinemaItaliaUK" offers a great opportunity to discover compelling stories, young artists and to understand better what's going on in Italy through the world of cinema – current events, comedies, docu-fictions and documentaries – although it is very mindfull of the masterpieces by De Sica, Antonioni, Pasolini, Visconti, Fellini and of all more recent filmakers.
