Unifrance is a partner, for the fourth year, of Nouvelle Vague sul Tevere, a festival initiated by the Palatine and Lutetia organizations to celebrate the friendship between Paris and Rome, and their twinning since 1956.
Music, encounters, and cinema are on the program for this 2025 edition, to be held from July 4 to 8, and which, as every year, will bring together two simultaneous events: in Paris, Dolcevita-sur-Seine will showcase Italian works, and in Rome, Nouvelle Vague sul Tevere will highlight a selection of recent French films, as well as two classic films. Laure Calamy and Rebecca Zlotowski will attend the event and be on hand to chat with Italian audiences after the screening of their respective films.
French films screening:
- Eternal Playground by Pablo Cotten and Joseph Rozé
- Other People's Children by Rebecca Zlotowski
- My Donkey, My Lover & I by Caroline Vignal
- 天井桟敷の人々 by Marcel Carné (opening film)
- ラ・ブーム by Claude Pinoteau (closing film)
In Rome, Unifrance will be showcasing its 10 to Watch 2025 through an exhibition of portraits taken by photographer Marie Rouge on the occasion of the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris. The vernissage will be held at Casa del Cinema on July 4, the venue for the film screenings.
The festivities will be rounded off on July 7 at the Villa Medicis by the awards ceremony for the Ristretto Short Film Competition, organized in conjunction with La fémis and the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (CSC). The two winning films will be screened in the evening.
