(13 January 2017) Marco Tullio Giordana presents “Lea” in Lyon on Wednesday 1 February at 20:30 at Cinema Comoedia (13 avenue Berthelot – Lyon 7). The event is part of the second edition of “Rencontres du Cinéma Italien d’aujourd’hui”. A film festival organised in collaboration with the University of Jean Moulin Lyon 3 and the Cinema Comoedia of Lyon. Marco Tullio Giordana is also the author of “I Cento Passi” (One Hundred Steps), nominated at the Golden Globes and winner of a David di Donatello award. He is also the author of “La meglio gioventù” (The Best of Youth). The latter was an excellent example of osmosis between art films and seriality and was awarded in Cannes and with six David di Donatello awards. Giordana will present his new political crime movie to the French public: based on the true story of Lea Garofalo, a victim of the ‘ndrangheta. “Lea” starring Vanessa Scalera, Linda Caridi, Alessio Praticò, and Mauro Conte is the story of two brave women: Lea Garofalo who collaborated with the authorities and her daughter Denise who testified against her father. Denise is still alive today living under witness protection. The film came out in July in France where Giordana is very popular. (PO/red)
