The Italian Film Festival screens in Canberra at Palace Electric Cinema from 12 September until 7 October. Now in its nineteenth year, the IFF celebrates Italian culture, language and lifestyle with around 30 films.

Highlights include the life and times of Silvio Berlusconi in Loro, Cannes festival award winners Happy as Lazzaro and Lucia’s Grace, films that reference the elusive internationally best-selling author Elena Ferrante, as well as selected classics of Italian cinema.
