Rome: Shots of War, 3 July – 30 August 2009
“Shots of War”, an exhibition that will be held at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome from the 3rd of July to the 30th of August, gathers the pictures taken in 1944 and 1945 by two important war photographers, Lee Miller and Tony Vaccaro, pictures that will give all the tourists who will travel to Rome a more concrete image and a direct testimony of some epochal events, from Normandy Landings to Berlin liberation. Lee Miller and Tony Vaccaro experienced war personally, but in two different ways, and with their photos they conveyed the tragicalness of war, making us get indignant and think.
Two lives and work experiences very different from each other, which will cross in Rome in this interesting exhibition, which will certainly attract many people with a passion for history and photography, but not only them (book now discount guest houses and hotels in Rome, the city is always overcrowded in summer). On the one hand Lee Miller, war correspondent for British Vogue since 1940 and correspondent for the US Army in 1944, a courageous woman and a famous photographer, who had lived in Paris becoming friend of many surrealists and intellectuals. On the other hand Tony Vaccaro, a young soldier of the US Army coming from Italy, who decided to become a press photographer when he felt the need to express himself, but he was unable to do that through words because of his poor knowledge of the English language. The pictures taken by Lee Miller and Tony Vaccaro will be displayed in the same exhibitory space at the Scuderie del Quirinale, but on different walls, to compare two different ways of telling, two different styles and points of view, which are both useful to learn something more about that historical period. On the one hand the photos taken by Lee Miller, who stands out for her good and refined technique, and who was interested above all on what happened out of the battlefields, focusing on the faces of common people: nurses, soldiers, victims and the injured. On the other hand Vaccaro, the soldier who personally experienced war, who was in contact with death daily and who portrayed the atrocities of war through images. Both photographers became witnesses of important events: Lee Millers followed the US Army during the siege of Saint Malo, Paris liberation, Alsace and Luxembourg campaigns, the taking of Munich (here she portrayed Hitler’s abandoned house), the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau. Tony Vaccaro, who landed at Ohama Beach on the 6th of June 1944, portrayed, with his photos, the advance of the allied through France, Belgium and Germany.
To help visitors follow the paths of both photographers and to expand on the historical context, the exhibition also includes a reconstruction of the Normandy landings made with aerial photographs of the Royal Air Force and a historical introduction realised by Umberto Gentiloni, who curated the exhibition together with Marco Delogu.
If you visit the exhibition (you can stay in a camping in Rome), with the same ticket you will have the possibility to watch the screening of a film.
Tickets: 5 euro, reduced 4 euro
Date: 3rd July – 30 August 2009
Location: Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome, Italy

Rome: Asian Film Festival, 4 – 11 July 2009
The Asian Film festival will take place from the 4th to the 11th of July in Rome, at the Cinema Farnese, and like every year it will feature a rich programme of projections of Eastern films: a unique chance for all the most refined cinema lovers who will enjoy a travel to Rome and watch films that are not usually distributed in many Italian cinemas.
Although Eastern cinema is achieving success in international festivals and competitions, and with the passing of time it is becoming more popular abroad, we cannot claim that it is well-known by most people: for this reason the Asian Film Festival, its 7th edition being celebrated this year, is meant to intensify the connection between Italy and East, and in particular it is meant to strengthen the visibility of Asian films, providing a rich and high-quality programme, which includes both famous and emerging directors, and which gives space also to films that otherwise are difficult to be found.
If you book a guest house in Rome you will have the chance to watch films of different genres realised in various Asian countries, from Taiwan to Japan, from China to South Korea, from Singapore to Malaysia, which in some cases will be projected for the first time in Italy (“Pongso No Tao” by Wang Jingui, “The Shaft” by Cht Zhang, and many more) or in Europe (just to make few examples: “Homeless FC” by James Leong and Lynn Lee, “Er Dong” by Yang Jin, “Keeping Watch” by Fen Fen-Cheng).
The films presented at the festival are traditionally divided into 5 categories: the competition section, featuring this year directors like Hirokazu Kore-eda with “Still Walking”, Eric Khoo with “My Magic” and Yeo Joon Han with “Sell out”, includes the films that might win the following prizes: best film, best director, best actor, best actress and most original film, while the out of competition section includes films like "Ashes of time redux" by Wong Kar-Way, "Face" by Tsai Ming Liang and "Tokyo" by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Bang Joon-ho; also the other sections of the festival are very interesting: “Newcomers from Taiwan” is meant to give voice to new talents and to strengthen the relationship with Taiwan cinema (do not miss “The Wall” by Lin Chih-ju, “Sincerely Yours” by Rich Lee and “Candy Rain” by Chen Hung-i), while “Focus on Singapore” is meant to promote Singapore films (three films realised in Singapore are to be found also in the competitive section). Like every year, the programme of the festival is enriched by a retrospective dedicated to a master of Eastern cinema: this year’s retrospective will be dedicated to Jia Zhang-ke, one of the main contemporary directors, who is also known for having won a golden lion at the Venice international film festival in 2006 with “Still Life”. Staying in a hotel in Rome the fans of the director will have the possibility to immerse themselves in his films, but they will also have the great chance to meet their favourite director, who is the guest of honour of the festival: Jia Zhang-ke, indeed, will personally present “Going Home”, one of his first films.
Tickets: daily ticket 4 euro, admission to all screenings 30 euro
Date: 4th – 11th July 2009
Location: Cinema Farnese, Rome, Italy

Rome: Roma Vintage, 13 June – 15 August 2009
Roma Vintage will take place from the 13th of June to the 15th of August in Parco San Sebastiano, and as the name of the event suggests, it will make all tourists who travel to Rome go back to the recent past. Roma Vintage, indeed, is a space dedicated to the 70s and the 80s, two decades which were very different from each other and which keep fascinate also young generations. From music to fashion, from films to sport, many cult items and events of that period are now part of our collective memory and not outmoded at all.
To experience that period again you only need to book a hotel in Rome and visit Roma Vintage, which will include many spaces and events, not to forget any feature of the culture and fashion of the 70s and the 80s and to meet everybody’s desires, both of those who personally experienced those years, and of those who were born or grew up later, but who are very interested in those decades. Parco San Sebastiano will host a large exhibitory area where you will find all kinds of vintage stuff: sport, music, fashion, motors items, and a whole section will host Italian products that have become symbols of that era, both in Italy and abroad.
The visitors who will stay in a campsite in Rome will not only have the possibility to visit stalls, they will also have the chance to participate in a number of events that will take place during Roma Vintage: an area of the park, indeed, will host theatre, music and dance shows. The programme includes many concerts of Italian (Scialpi, Righeira, Alberto Camerini…) and international (Imagination…) stars, who composed songs that marked those years, but music will play an important role also in other events: Revival Parties will make you dance with the disco and dance music of the 70s and 80s, while Pop Parties will include also the best music from the 90s to nowadays. Space will be given also to salsa and Latin-American music, with Latin Revival Parties, and to latin hustle, the dance that has become popular thanks to the cult movie “Saturday Night Fever”, with Hustle Dance. Besides music, the programme of Roma Vintage also includes theatre shows, readings of poems and monologues and films projections: you will have the chance to watch movies that are now considered as cult, like Italian sexy comedies, which are very appreciated by Quentin Tarantino, but also films, like “Il marchese del Grillo”, featuring Alberto Sordi, which have come down in cinema history.
The 70s and the 80s were also characterised by the spreading of Japanese cartoons and by some sport events, like the popular football match Italy-Germany 4-3 (1970), which is considered as one of the most thrilling sport matches ever: Roma Vintage will celebrate also these events, with projections of period films and pictures.
Tickets: various prices
Date: 13th June – 15th August 2009
Location: Parco San Sebastiano, Rome, Italy
