This year’s SFIFF will include a new Italian film:
Il sud è niente (South is Nothing) (2013, 90’). Directed by Fabio Mollo.
Cast: Miriam Karlkvist, Vinicio Marchioni, Valentina Lodovini.
Synopsis: Miriam Karlkvist took a well-deserved Shooting Star award at Berlin for her portrayal of a seemingly androgynous teenage girl negotiating life in a mafia-controlled town whose code of silence is destroying her family. Filmed in Reggio Calabria, this debut feature combines poetic realism with hard-edged cynicism.
