The Italian Contemporary Film Festival, in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario and the Associazione Culturale L’Altra Italia, presents the film Silvio Soldini‘s “Il fiume ha sempre ragione/The river is always right” in the section ICFF Literature.
In Attendance: Corrado Paina (Italian-Canadian Poet), Rob Marra (Italian-Canadian Poet), Lucio Iacobelli (Italian-Canadian Poet)
Preceding the screening there will be a video interview with the film’s protagonist Alberto Casiraghy immediately followed by a reading of Casiraghy’s Aphorisms by both Casiraghy and Corrado Paina. Poets Rob Marra and Lucio Iacobelli will then each present their own poems live from the stage.
Synopsis:
Alberto Casiraghy and Josef Weiss are true bibliophile artists. One in Osnago, the other in Mendrisio, they have been dedicating themselves for years to valuable editorial and typographical activities, still printing with mobile characters, preserving the memory of a perfect ingenuity made of manual skills and technique, but also of inventiveness and poetry. Silvio Soldini gives us a realistic and poetical portrait of these two artists-artisans, who chose one of the oldest professions in a modern world, finding great success and approval.
