Director: Jonas Carpignano
Stars: Pio Amato, Koudous Seihon, Damiano Amato
In southern Italy, a small Romani community has been confined to the shabby ‘Ciambra’ estate, while offered little integration with mainstream society. 14-year-old Pio (Amato) is determined to support his family by following in his older brother’s footsteps – a fledging life of crime that is the only door that seems open to him. With its sparkling, engaging non-professional cast and unblinking honesty, A Ciambra is “shockingly alive, startlingly accomplished and remarkably acute” (Wall Street Journal).

An American professor brings his family to Lombardy every year – this year, 1983, his son Elio (Chalamet) becomes obsessed with his new assistant Oliver (Hammer), and their relationship develops over the course of the summer. Adapted for the screen by James Ivory, this sun-dappled romance has been universally acclaimed for its script, camerawork, and stunning acting from the entire cast. “A triumphant, heartbreaking tale” (Time Out).

Director: Ermanno Olmi
Stars: Luigi Ornaghi, Francesca Moriggi, Omar Brignoli
Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes and regarded as the last great work of Italian neo-realism, Olmi’s film depicts the lives of the peasants living and working for a landlord in 19th century Lombardy over the course of a year. One father, trying to provide an education for his son, uses the tree of the title, with terrible consequences for his family. “One of the most neglected masterworks of the Italian cinema” (Empire).
