Bif&st – the Bari International Film&Tv Festival is returning to its usual springtime setting with a 13th edition enhanced by a line-up entirely devoted to TV fiction. After being forced, for the past two years, to postpone until August and then September on account of the pandemic, the festival devised and directed by Felice Laudadio is now set to unspool in the Apulian capital from 26 March to 2 April. And, alongside its traditional sections - and perfectly in keeping with the times - it’s also introducing an important window onto TV fiction, screening Italian and international works (TV movies, miniseries, TV series, docufiction) in exclusive national premieres, in the presence of their actors and directors.

Whilst details of the Cinema&Fiction line-up are set to be revealed in a press conference scheduled for 22 March, the jam-packed general programme (“an enormous undertaking, put together in only six months”, as pointed out by director Laudadio) was presented yesterday at Bari’s Petruzzelli Theatre, and provides for eight international premieres, twelve films in competition hailing from all corners of the globe, and meetings with the winners of the Italian Film Awards assigned this year; namely Margherita Buy, Nicola Piovani, Donatella Palermo, Fabrizio Ferracane and Lina Siciliano, Miriam Leone, Vinicio Marchioni, and Giuseppe Tornatore.

Most eye-catching among the international premieres on the agenda is the world premiere of Roberto Faenza’s new film Hill of Vision, which explores the life and childhood of the Nobel Prize for Medicine winner Mario Capecchi, who was born in Italy to an American mother who was herself a poet and political activist who was arrested by the Fascist regime in 1941 before being detained in a German concentration camp. Other works jostling in the line-up include Operation Mincemeat [+lire aussi :
