I attended the #ICFF2024 - Italian Contemporary Film Festival Press Conference today at the Distillery District. It returns to the Distillery from June 27 to July 22nd.
Returning for the 2nd year is the Dark Side program with more horror films and even some never seen films.
There are many international films from over 22 countries.
This year they will have a Norman Jewison tribute program called Jewison's Compass, with some of his films including Moonstruck, In the Heat of the Night and The Thomas Crown Affair.
There is a focus on Sustainability this year and there's a documentary called Green over Grey, which includes a panel discussion. There is also a Wine tasting, doc film and panel.
And with a nod to Classic Italian film there is a Fellini exhibition this year.
They are bringing back the free music concerts in the afternoons.
The films come in packages that include food tastings, popcorn and drinks.
The tastings are from booths around the distillery.
One of the things I would like to attend is the Cinematic Tour. $21 on a Sunday afternoon you can tour the distillery and find out where some of the Worlds greatest films were shot and there's also a scavenger hunt. Sounds fun.
And there's a haunted walk. Since the Distillery goes way back I am sure there are lots of stories there.
I love the Italian Comedies, they are really broad comedies.
A new Hollywood film is Space Cadet with Emma Roberts.
Another highly talked about TIFF film from Atom Egoyen is Seven Veils.
The best part of the festival is watching it outdoors sitting on blow up couches under the twinkle lights and the stars. Having it outdoors does come with challenges but if the day is nice it's glorious.
