For the past 12 years, the San Diego Italian Film Festival has taken you to virtual journeys along with our protagonists, experiencing the passion, love, comedy, despair, and hope of life. But the SDIFF is about more than just movies. It is about identity, history and a shared appreciation of Italian culture and great cinema– in a word, it is about community. As part of the September monthly series of the San Diego italian Film Festival is the film Volevo Nascondermi (Hidden Away) directed by Giorgio Diritti. Synopsis: Toni, an orphan of Italian origin, is deported from Switzerland to Italy, where he lives in abject poverty on the banks of river Po. Physically deformed and mentally disordered, Toni is marginalized and humiliated by a society hateful of any suspicion of divergence. Ultimately, he finds refuge in painting, channeling his bitterness and dire need for acceptance. A gripping biopic featuring painter Antonio Ligabue that exalts art’s redemptive powers, while praising the values of diversity. In Italian with English subtitles. Available only in the US.Showing Date | Thursday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m. Location | Museum of Photographic ArtsGet tickets here!
