Presented by Palace, the 2025 ST. ALi Italian Film Festival's annual Spring escape to Italy is arriving in Ballarat for the first time this year. A bellissimo selection of box office hits and award-winning films will dazzle screens at Palace Regent Cinemas in Ballarat.
The festival opens with Paolo Genovese's record-breaking hit Somebody To Love (FolleMente), a romantic comedy with an all-star cast including Edoardo Leo, Pilar Fogliati and Vittoria Puccini. Writer/director Genovese's latest film reveals the innermost thoughts and uncertainties of a modern Italian couple on their awkward first date.
Following its World Premiere at the Opening Night of the 2025 Venice International Film Festival later this month, Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino's latest film La Grazia is this year's Festival Centrepiece. The highly anticipated drama stars Toni Servillo, Anna Ferzetti and Massimo Venturiello.
