Three films helped with the poster of the Festival of Rome
The Area supported the realization of three of the films projected at the time of Festa internazionale di Roma, a new Italian festival dedicated to the cinema.

The Area is three times over represented with the 2e edition of the festival of cinema Festa internazionale di Roma, organized from the 18 to October 27 in the Italian capital.

Two films having profited from the Funds of regional support are in official competition:

“The Second breath” of Alain Corneau and “what my eyes saw” of Laurent de Bartillat. And third is presented in the “Alice section in the city”, reserved for the films intended for the public child and teenager: “The Head of mom” of Carine Tardieu.

The Second breath, which leaves on October 24, is a new signed version Alain Corneau of black film carried out by Jean-Pierre Melville in 1966. Interpreted by Daniel Auteuil and Monica Bellucci, it tells the history of a gangster escaped prisoner of prison to which all could “smile”: it made a success of its last holdup and thus has enough money to flee abroad with that which it likes. Only problem? The police force makes it pass for a traitor to the eyes of his accomplices and it makes a point of washing its honor…

Characters featuring at “Second Breath”

“What my eyes saw” puts in scene a coed in the search of a direction hidden at paintings of Watteau. Interpreted by Sylvie Testud and Jean-Pierre Marielle, it is the first full-length film of fiction of its author, Laurent de Bartillat. It leaves on November 28.

“The Head of mom” is also a first film. Realized by Carine Tardieu, it inserts with humour and poetry in the world of a teenager who has only one obsession: to give again the smile with his/her mother (interpreted by Karin Viard). Left on March 28, it carried out 320.000 entries.
