Hands Over the City (100 mins/B&W/1963)
Dir: Francesco Rosi/Italian/Italy
Francesco Rosi's Hands over the City is an expose of the politically driven real-estate speculation that has devastated Naples's civilian landscape, the film moves breathlessly from a cataclysmic building collapse to the backroom negotiations of civic leaders vying for power in a city council election, laying bare the inner workings of corruption with passion and outrage.
The film is a blistering work of social realism and the winner of the 1963 Venice Film Festival Golden Lion - the highest prize at the festival.
5.50 pm
Nostalgia for the Light (90 mins/Colour/2010)
Dir: Patricio Guzman/Spanish/Chile
The Atacama Desert is one of the driest places in the world, it’s a high-altitude desert. The desert sky is so clear that astronomers prefer their instruments situated here to help peer into the universe. It is also a place where the conditions preserve human remains. As astronomers gather to search for the mysteries of the universe, so do a group of women, searching for their relatives who disappeared under Chile’s dictatorship installed during 1973.
The film won at the Cannes and the Toronto film festival in 2010.
