Cinema Troisi reopens in Rome with Titane preview

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 24 - After 6 years of appeals, bureaucratic obstacles and restoration and conservative rehabilitation works, the Troisi Cinema opens in Rome on 21 September, a project by the Piccolo America Association which returns one of its historic rooms to the city, in heart of Trastevere. To inaugurate the new Troisi, thanks to the collaboration of I WonderPictures, a real film-manifesto, as well as one of the most anticipated (and discussed) titles of recent seasons: the Palmad'oro of the last Cannes Film Festival, Titane by Julia Ducournau.

   The film, accompanied in Rome by the director and the protagonists Agathe Rousselle and Vincent Lindon, will be presented in the original version with Italian subtitles at the Troisi Cinema in preview and as a national exclusive from 21 September, to then arrive in cinemas all over Italy from 30 September. Tickets will be available for purchase from 10 September on the website www.cinematroisi.it.

   «By scheduling the screenings of the Cinema in Piazza and before that at Cinema America - explains Valerio Carocci on behalf of the Piccolo America Association - we tried to satisfy the city's hunger for cinema, but also to feed it, trying to grow together with the public. From the historical center to the extreme periphery, from the great authors to the most popular sagas, under our screens we have hosted, over ten years, a new generation of spectators, whom we now hope to welcome at the Troisi. Of course we do not have the presumption that we are already experienced exhibitors, and programming a verocinema puts us in front of a challenge - and a responsibility - in addition: choosing among the first visions, betting on a film, an author, a story. We are proud that this challenge starts with a title as important as Titane,already winner of the most important festival in the world, and in the presence of the director and the cast. We couldn't have hoped for a better opening, and we thank the I Wonder Pictures distribution for believing in us. If there is one thing that we have always recognized it is the will of iron. Now we can say that we even have titanium! " (HANDLE).
