Programmers' Picks: Angelo Acerbi
SIFF Programmer Angelo Acerbi shares some of his highlights from the 2024 Seattle International Film Festival.
Gloria!
Miracles happen and this film is one! First-time director Margherita Vicario brings her poetry and creativity in a story of female affirmation and empowerment in 1800s Tuscany, where music is the message.
Green Border
Helmer Agnieszka Holland brings us to the Polish-Belarusian border during the latest humanitarian crisis. An unapologetic tale of overpowering arrogance and political cruelty. Awarded at the Venice and Rotterdam film festivals.
The Summer With Carmen
In Athens, a cute dog named Carmen is the excuse for a sensual and funny existential tale of two friends who have to write a film but dig so deep in their own queerness that it changes their relationship forever.
Making Of
A social comedy with cinema as its backdrop. An extra starts shooting the making of a movie that becomes a gigantic mess. The proof that a making-of doc can sometimes be far better than the film itself! It’s the perfect kind of intelligent French comedy we all love.
