The Italian Contemporary Film Festival (ICFF) presented by IC Savings, is teaming up with multicultural media company CHIN Radio/TV and the Embassy of Italy in Canada, to offer the Lavazza Drive-In Nights in Vaughan and Markham, after the successful launch of the Lavazza Drive-In Film Festival in Toronto, presenting the festival’s Focus on Italy section in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto.
The film series, runs from August 31 through September 4. Lavazza Drive-In Nights Vaughan will feature 4 evenings of full entertainment with a ‘Focus on Italy’ program presented in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura a Toronto of popular and critically-acclaimed Italian contemporary movies. Screening at the Lavazza Drive-In Nights Markham will be the winner of the Ontario Place Lavazza Drive-In Film Festivals People’s Choice Award, The Peanut Butter Falcon.
“I have always strongly supported the ICFF’s initiatives, and the solution of a Drive-In Film Festival, which will allow patrons to keep their usual summer appointment with Italian cinema while at the same time maintaining maximum safety, convinced me immediately,” affirmed Italy’s Ambassador to Canada, Claudio Taffuri. “Initiatives like this one are what we really need. Even at a time when we are required to remain distanced, we did not want to give up, we did not want to lose contact, and we explored new solutions and new ways to share our cinema culture with our Canadian friends.”
