Terraferma directed by Emanuele Crialses was originally premiered at the Venice International Italian Film Festival where it won the Special Jury Grand Prize. There is a huge cast including Fillippo Pucillo, Beppe Fiorello, Donatella Finocchiaro, and Mimmo Cuticchio. The film is set along the coast of Sicily, beautifully filmed in Crialese’s dreamy, magical-realist style and is a fascinating look at issues of immigration facing us today.
Films will be shown at TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX, AMC Interchange 30 Vaughan, THE ROYAL
