ABOUT CALL THE SHOTS

Call the Shots was established by ICFF Director of Operations, Mara Cataldi in 2018. Call The Shots is an annual event that, through film, celebrates and honours women’s achievements in thought, leadership, and action. Above all, through this event, the ICFF is able to showcase the ideas and valid experiences of women, which we believe are the powerful forces needed for change. Unlike many other initiatives focused on female empowerment, which are incredibly important in their own right, Call the Shots: Female Power Through Film is unique in its approach to tackling various themes and subject matter, from the perspective of women who have achieved great success and become experts in their respective fields. This project represents, sustains, and promotes women’s achievements and contributions to today’s evolving society. In every aspect, in every field, and in every sector – be it filmmaking, journalism, the arts or industrial entrepreneurship – our guests represent the Canadian and Italian-Canadian women making an impact on their community and society as a whole; a true celebration of excellence.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
The Stolen Caravaggio / Una storia senza nome

Valeria (Micaela Ramazzotti), a young secretary to a film producer, lives on the same landing as her mother, Amalia, an eccentric and neurotic woman (Laura Morante), and writes incognito for a successful screenwriter, Alessandro (Alessandro Gassmann). One day, Valeria receives a film plot from a stranger, a retired policeman (Renato Carpentieri). But that plot is dangerous; “the untitled story” tells the mysterious theft, which took place in Palermo in 1969, of a famous painting by Caravaggio, the “Nativity”. From that moment on, the screenwriter will find herself immersed in n ruthless and daring scheme.
