June 2 – Salvo and Valentino are two friends who lost their jobs, and thus decide to leave the big city and take refuge in their hometown, where life is cheaper and it’s easier to get by. The impact with the new reality will reveal, however, quite a few surprises. This is Andiamo a quel paese, an Italian film released in theaters in November 2014, directed and performed by Ficarra and Picone, the Sicilian comedy duo composed of Salvatore Ficarra and Valentino Picone. The two are in Montréal for the third edition of the ICFF- the largest Canadian festival entirely dedicated to the best expressions of Italian cinema. On Wednesday, June 17, at 6.30pm, the Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal will host a meeting in Italian, open to the public, with the duo; the public will have the opportunity to ask questions to the two popular comedians. Ficarra and Picone’s day in Montreal will continue at 9pm, at the Cinémathèque Québécoise, with the screening of the film in the presence of the two artists and their producer, Attilio De Race. Salvatore Ficarra and Valentino Picone will also be in Montreal the following day (June 18 at 9pm) when their film will be screened at the Cinéma Guzzo Mega-Plex Lacordaire 16. (red)
