Events in Bibliomediateca

- Monday 12 April 2010, at 3.30 p.m.

A screening of Claudio Malaponti’s film Sette Km da Gerusalemme as part of the ECCE HOMO. L’immagine di Gesù festival (ECCE HOMO: The face of Jesus in the history of cinema).

On Monday, the 12th of April 2010, the latest event in the Ecce Homo film festival will be a screening of Claudio Malaponti’s film Sette Km da Gerusalemme.

This is the Milanese film director’s second film - an adaptation of Pino Farinotti’s novel of the same name – and the film tells the story of a 40-year-old unemployed advertising executive experiencing a mid-life crisis, whose wife and daughter have left him and who wins a trip to the Holy Land. Deep down, the film is a journey of self-discovery, and on the way he meets a man who says he’s the son of God. Though he doesn’t believe this man, he decides to embark on a deep and often confrontational dialogue with him. The film will be presented to the public by the film director Claudio Malaponti himself and the producer Angelo Sconda. Presented by Gabriele Rigola.

The film is part of the ECCE HOMO: The face of Jesus in the history of cinema film festival, organised in conjunction with a large exhibition of the same name now on display at the National Museum of Cinema until 6 June 2010. The festival has been organised by Bibliomediateca and the director is Silvio Alovisio (University of Turin) and run by the university film society Sperduti nel buio.
