Remembering Roberto Rossellini
Wed May 21, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan
Roberto Rossellini was a pioneering Italian filmmaker, best known for his contributions to Italian Neorealism, a movement that emphasized realism, non-professional actors, and on-location shooting. His films, such as Rome, Open City (1945), Paisan (1946), and Germany, Year Zero (1948), captured the raw emotions and struggles of post-war Italy. Rossellini constantly reinvented his craft, blending documentary and fiction, exploring historical narratives, and collaborating with actors like Ingrid Bergman in films such as Stromboli (1950) and Journey to Italy (1954). His work remains influential in world cinema, inspiring generations of filmmakers.
