Cari amici e amiche,
benvenuti alla nostra Newsletter di novembre. Questo mese ci fa molto piacere richiamare la vostra attenzione su diversi eventi, tra cui una speciale maratona di poesia bilingue online co-ospitata dalla Dante BC e la Dante Ottawa – “Soul Food/Cibo per l’anima” – in occasione della celebrazione dell’ottava Settimana della Cucina Italiana nel Mondo. Sarà sicuramente un evento unico nel suo genere che celebrerà il ricco patrimonio culturale e culinario italiano.
Inoltre, dal 16 al 26 novembre si svolgerà come ogni anno, l’European Union Film Festival (EUFF) con la proiezione di film provenienti da 17 paesi europei presso la Ottawa Art Gallery. Il film proveniente dall’Italia “La primavera della mia vita” sarà proiettato il 25 novembre. Se non potete partecipare al festival di persona, lo streaming online sarà disponibile a dicembre.
Buona visione!

Sabato 25 novembre, ore 18:30 – “La primavera della mia vita” | “The Spring of my Life” – EUFF (Italia) OAG 10 Daly Ave, Ottawa
Zavvo Nicolosi’s feature debut is a lively, engaging, often hilarious road movie starring popular Sicilian singers Colapesce and Dimartino. The film is the fictional story of two friends who share a certain musical past as they embark on an unusual journey to Sicily. As they travel across the legendary island and its villages, towns, and cities, they have odd, absurdist encounters with decidedly eccentric characters. Influenced by the road movies of Wim Wenders and Aki Kaurismäki, The Spring of My Life is a colourful cinematic and musical confection—a trip to Sicily you won’t soon forget.
2023 | 95 minutes | Italy
