Feb. 17 – “Keeping together a family is difficult. You need eyes that can see, ears that know how to listen, everywhere. It takes intelligence and feeling, but above all you need rules. The rules.” It ‘a line from the movie “Calibro 10” by Massimo Ivan Falsetta, on the Ten Commandments of Cosa Nostra. The producer, the Italian-American entrepreneur Raffaele Alberto, revealed that the film will have its world premiere in America, at the Los Angeles Film Fest (which began on February 15 and will come to a close on February 21). Thanks to Mibact and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, on February 19 (8:15pm), the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood will host the World Premiere of “Calibro 10”. “I’m not a producer by profession, I am an entrepreneur, but I wanted to invest, and without any sponsors, in this film because it gives a new and pulp perspective on a form of delinquency that reinterprets the Ten Commandments to serve itself. I entrusted the direction and photography to the award-winning director Massimo Ivan Falsetta – continues the producer of “Calibro 10. Il decalogo del crimine” (full title of the film in Italian) – because I knew his style could make the most of my idea of all ‘Italian’ pulp.” Falsetta was born in Catanzaro 37 years ago, taking his first steps on some movie sets and advertising. He shot “Calibre 10” five years ago. “In addition to the personal satisfaction for the success of the film – continues Raffaele Alberto – I am thankful for the presence and cooperation of important institutional and professional partners. I wish to thank the general direction for the cinema of the Ministry of Culture, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, The Hoillywood Chamber of Commerce, the Italian Trade Agency, the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles, the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles, The Cinecittà Studios, Anica, Mediaset, the Istituto Luce Cinecittà and, last but not least, The National Italian American Foundation.
