CLAUDIA CARDINALE DAY

At the Cinema Ariston an interesting discussion on cinema and literature is but moments away. This festival engagement will investigate, in particular the relationship between Svevo and the cinema with, Claudia Cardinale and the great actress Betsy Blair together in Trieste once again after filming ‘Senilità’ by Mauro Bolognini del 1962. Joing them, the journalist and writer Annamaria Mori and curator of the event Barbara Sturmar. This meeting will take place as part of “tutte le films”, the festival showcase comprised of the cinematographic and television versions of Svevo’s work.

The festival Gala event from 7pm will be dedicated to Slovenian cinema with the screening of the feature film in competition, ‘Estrellita’ which will be followed by the grand entrance of Claudia Cardinale and Betsy Blair for the screening of Senilità by Bolognini at 9.30pm.

To mark the presence of Slovenia, a party has been organised by the Slovenian Consulate of Trieste in collaboration with Alpe Adria Cinema and the Slovenian Film Fund. Obtaining a spare invitation for this exclusive reception at the elegant Caffè Rossetti has already become something of a quest.
