Aug. 28 – United in life and in their passion for cinema. The 38th Festival des Films du Monde takes place this week in Montreal, and the Italian Cultural Institute is calling on the general public to attend a special séance with Margaret Mazzantini and Sergio Castellitto. Husband and wife in their personal lives, the two are also a successful couple in the arts, bringing together literature and cinematography skills. The meeting, scheduled for tonight at 6:30pm at the ICI headquarters, will see the two guests speak of their relationship with cinema and literature. Viva Paci, professor at UQAM (Faculté de communication, École des médias) and Elena Benelli of Concordia University (professor of Italian Studies) will monitor the debate. Castellitto will remain in Montreal until Sept. 1 for the Festival des Films du Monde, of which he is president of the international jury.
