(June 4, 2008)

Silvio Soldini works on the set of his film Days and Clouds, which will open the Open Roads

A new generation of Italian filmmakers at Lincoln Center. Now in its eighth year, "Open Roads" has become a leading American showcase for the best in new Italian cinema

Tools

In its eighth edition, Open Roads is a leading American showcase that promotes a new, fresh generation of Italian filmmakers. The real common factor between these young artists is their "independence". They are not part of a particular political movement, and their aesthetic approach to filmmaking varies greatly. Nonetheless, all their works represent an interesting rupture with genres and paradigms from the past.

This series has been organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center together with the Ministero per i Beni e le Attivitá Culturali (Direzione Generale per il Cinema), Filmitalia, Cinecittá Holding in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of New York and SNGC. Special thanks to Alitalia, American Continental Properties, Apulia Film Commission, Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimó, Comune di Cesena, 41 Parallelo and Rai Corporation for their generous support.
