Italian Film Festival

MOVIEMOV – Italian Film Festival 2025 arrives not with blockbusters or big-budget flair but with something far more elusive: nine Italian features that exist beautifully out of frame. Each one, from a different filmmaker, resists easy categorisation – the kind of stories that don’t shout, but linger. Included are titles like Il Mio Compleanno by Christian Filippi and Diamanti by Ferzan Özpetek. Opening and closing with two documentaries on writer Tiziano Terzani – one a life journey, the other a final interview – the festival doesn’t just showcase cinema. It asks you to slow down and actually watch. May 3-6. Free. House Samyan.
