The Other Views showcase, a cycle of monthly meetings organised by the Sindacato Belleville, an independent collective of film critics, producers and promoters – which will feature the authors themselves taking part in post-screening debates, flanked by critics, experts and professionals in this field - is continuing at the cinema Massimo.

Inquiries, comparisons and analyses, through the eyes, minds and the visions of the most paradigmatic contemporary authors, of daring experimenters with novel filmic languages and narrators of thus-far concealed new forms of humanity. This month, screening of the film L’intrusa by Leonardo Di Costanzo. To follow, the director will meet the public at the cinema. Admission 6.00/4.00 euro.

L’intrusa (The intruder)

(Italy 2017, 95’, DCP, col.)

Giovanna is the founder of “la Masseria” centre in Naples, a play-and-creativity hub sheltered from squalor and mafia currents. But Maria, the very young wife of a camorra affiliate, seeks shelter at the Masseria itself, with her two children. Maria represents everything that the mothers are trying to protect their own kids from, and Giovanna thus finds herself faced with a seminal choice: must the intruder, Maria, be welcomed or banished?

Founded in 2016, Sindacato Belleville is made up of filmmakers, film theoreticians and critics who share visions, premises, intentions and possibilities regarding a new and more sincere way of thinking, writing and implementing cinematographic matters.
