 17. ročník Stredoeurópskeho festivalu talianskeho filmu MittelCinemaFest ponúka reprezentatívnu vzorku najnovších talianskych filmov s dôrazom na diela novej generácie filmových tvorcov, ktorí zaujali na mnohých medzinárodných festivaloch. Okrem debutujúcich režisérov nebudú chýbať ani veľké mená ako Marco Bellocchio o Gabriele Salvatores. Desať filmov uvádzaných počas piatich dní nám poodhalí súčasné Taliansko a príbehy jednotlivcov, bojujúcich o svoje miesto na zemi. Jednou z nosných tém aktuálneho ročníka je odlišnosť v tých najrozličnejších podobách, výzva milovať aj tých, ktorí nie sú presne takí ako my.

Zajtra bude nový deň | MittelCinemaFest 2019

Domani è un altro giorno; Simone Spada, 2019, versions: SS : ita

Giuliano (Marco Giallini) a Tommaso (Valerio Mastandrea) sa poznajú tridsať rokov a pred sebou majú veľkú skúšku ich priateľstva. Tommaso už dlhšie žije a pracuje ako učiteľ robotiky v Kanade. Giuliano ostal v Ríme a pôsobí ako herec. Obaja sú Rimania telom i dušou, hoci s rozdielnymi povahami. Giuliano je výbušný extrovert, Tommaso je tichý a zdržanlivý. Giuliano, herec plný energie, zvodca a milovník života je v poslednom štádiu ťažkej choroby a po roku sa rozhodne svoj boj vzdať. Dvom nerozlučným priateľom ostane jediná, tá najťažšia úloha – rozlúčiť sa. Majú na to štyri dni predĺženého víkendu. Keď Tommaso príde do Ríma, postačí im pár viet, aby sa medzi nich vrátilo špeciálne puto, schopnosť všetko obrátiť na žart a odohnať od seba strastiplnú realitu. Dvaja priatelia tak začínajú spomienkovú „road movie“. Pár vecí treba uzavrieť, ale hlavne zas objaviť, prežiť a spoznať starý dobrý svet ako niečo, prečo sa oplatilo žiť: pre neporušené a nenarušiteľné puto priateľstva.
