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.
