Between the Milano Movie week and the Milano film Festival, the 7th Art is making Milan vibrate this week. Screenings diffused throughout the city, exhibitions and a daring tribute to Frenchman Bertrand Mandico.

The cinema is starting again. And Milan is doing everything to help him. The Milano Movie Week sees the participation this week of all the entities that deal with cinema in Milan, from the Cineteca italiana al Cinemino, the MEET or the Beltrade, with events broadcast throughout the city, up to screenings in outdoors.
Among them, two exhibitions are on the program. One of them pays homage to Marcello Mastroianni at the Kasa dei libri (largo Aldo by Benedetti 4), the other to Ennio Morricone, one year after his death. The photo exhibition intends to offer a trip in memory, to rediscover the emotions felt by the spectators by listening to the film scores that have made the history of Italian cinema (Catholic University of the Sacred Heart from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., largo Gemelli 1 ).
Meet at the MEET Center for Digital Culture to immerse yourself in virtual reality (from October 7 to 10 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., viale Vittore Veneto 2).
Full program until October 10.

Milano Film festival, a tribute reserved for Bertrand Mandico

From Friday October 8, the Milano Film festival returns for a new edition and takes a new space, outdoors, in the park of Porta Venezia Indro Montanelli in addition to the rooms of the ArcoBaleno cinema (viale Tunisia) and the Cineteca Milano Meet ( viale Vittorio Veneto) On the program: 4 films unseen in Italy and 20 short films.

To be noted, two feature films by French director Bertrand, whose cinema is qualified as esoteric, erotomaniac, decadentist, phantasmagoric or in any case heterogeneous: After Blu, a post-apocalyptic western set in a fantastic world, already seen at the Locarno festival (9/10 at 9:30 p.m. at the Giardini Indro Montanelli), and Wild boys which had been acclaimed by Cahiers du Cinéma as the film of the year after its appearance at the Venice Film Festival in 2017 (9/10 at 4.30 p.m. at the Cineteca). And three short films, grouped in Harmona.

Outside the competition, another French film is showing: France by Bruno Durmont. The director signs a creaking satire of our contemporary world through the portrait of a star journalist of a 24-hour news channel embodied by Léa Seydoux.
