The Common Waters of Cinema

(May 28, 2010)
Centered upon the theme of water, and the role it plays in today's world, the third edition of the film Senza Frontiere / Without Borders Film Festival, which takes place in Rome during the summer. The presentation will be held at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò on June 3



Italy and the United States might be separated by an ocean, but cinema bridges them together. On June 3, 2010, Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò at NYU will be hosting the presentation of this year's Senza Frontiere / Without Borders Film Festival. The three-day long festival, which has reached its third edition, will take place in Rome beginning on July 7. It is an annual not-for-profit event committed to show and discuss films that embrace a common humanity among people.


This year's focus is on water: Irena Salina's Flow is about its privatization; Why is Water Important? is a photo essay made by children under the guidance of artist Joy Episalla; Closely linked to the subject of water, global warming is the unwanted protagonist of Sun Come Up, about an island's disappearance into the ocean, the displacement of its people and the loss of their culture.
