N.I.C.E. Festival USA 202535° EditionNEW YORK CITY / NOV 20-21 e 25Casa Italiana Zerilli-MarimòIstituto Italiano di CulturaPHILADELPHIA / DIC 5-7Penn Cinema & Media Studies
Always keeping its mission clearly in mind, for the past 35 years N.I.C.E. has built a network of events around the world that showcase the best of new Italian auteur cinema. The great sensitivity and openness to all that is new in visual culture — which we have encountered in audiences throughout our travels — continue to inspire us year after year, encouraging us to embrace the many opportunities that come our way.
New York and Philadelphia are historic milestones for N.I.C.E., and we are especially proud of this year’s selection of films: stories of growth and self-discovery that travel across Italy and connect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.
I hope that each of you will lose — and then find — yourselves within these films.
Enjoy the show!
