ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL of Minneapolis / St. Paul
A 10-year retrospective
This year again, the Italian Cultural Center of Minneapolis / St. Paul, in partnership with the MSP Film Society, is happy to bring the best of Italian cinema to the Twin Cities. In 2019, we are celebrating the best movies of the past 10 years of the Italian Film Festival of Minneapolis / St. Paul (IFF). Ten movies will be screened throughout the year leading up to the IFF's 11th edition on February 20-23, 2020. This special edition started this March with the screening of Smetto Quando Voglio, a great comedy originally shown at our 7th edition of the IFF in 2015.
Conceived as part publicity stunt, part bonding trip, a group of musicians and a reluctant journalist set off on a ten-day trek by foot to cross the region of Basilicata (coast to coast) to reach the Scanzano Jonico Festival where they are scheduled to perform. Along the way, the members stumble upon an array of unforeseen circumstances and oddball locals that lead them to examine their own personal paths in life and perhaps reconsider what still lies ahead. With Basilicata's imposing beauty as a backdrop, this musical road-trip comedy reminds us that it is not about the destination but the journey.
Originally screened at the 3rd edition of the IFF in 2011.
