Il National Cinema Museum presents Crossover. The new frontier of European cinema.
The National Cinema Museum presents at the Cinema Massimo, from 10 to 17 May 2010, the retrospective Crossover. The new frontiers of European cinema. The festival is dedicated to the increasingly frequent co productions between European and the countries of South America, Asia and the Middle East: films, in most cases, ignored by the Italian distribution even when they bear the signatures of authors of the calibre of Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-hsien and Carlos Reygadas. With these works, European cinema opens its doors to the world, seeking new viewpoints and contaminations.
