Screening of "Il Sol dell’Avvenire" | Cape Town

Il Sol dell’Avvenire (A Brighter Tomorrow, literally translated "The Sun of the Future") is a profound and multifaceted Italian drama directed by the renowned filmmaker Nanni Moretti. The film is set in Rome during the 1950s and weaves together personal and political narratives, exploring the complexities of filmmaking, love, and ideological commitment.

The story follows Giovanni, a director working on a film about a pivotal moment in Italian history - the Communist Party’s relationship with the broader political landscape. As Giovanni navigates the challenges of his project, he confronts his own personal crises and the shifting dynamics within his marriage, all against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.

Moretti’s film is both a reflection on the art of cinema and a meditation on the intersection of personal and political identities. Il Sol dell’Avvenire offers a rich and layered narrative that invites audiences to reflect on the past, the nature of storytelling, and the future of ideals.

ITALIAN SCREENS is an initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual of the Ministry of Culture, organized by Cinecittà.
