Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent The 17th annual Rome Film Festival will fete James Ivory with a career honor, a mini retrospective and the Italian launch of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s personal new documentary “A Cooler Climate.” Ivory is expected in Rome to receive the award and present the doc about his life as a traveler that takes its cue from boxes of film the director shot during a life-changing trip to Afghanistan in 1960.
The film premieres beforehand at the New York Film Festival. Rome’s Ivory mini-retrospective will comprise his films “Maurice”; “Mr.
and Mrs. Bridge,” starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward; “The Remains of the Day”; and “A Room With a View.” The Rome fest – which has undergone a management change and is now headed by former RAI Cinema executive Paola Malanga as artistic director and Gian Luca Farinelli as president – on Thursday unveiled a mixed bag lineup comprising a competitive section largely made up of first works, alongside a rich roster of crowdpleasers in a separate tier called Grand Public.
There is also a Best of 2022 sidebar where a selection of festival circuit standouts will unspool. Rome’s opener, in the Grand Public section, is “The Hummingbird” (“Il Colibrì”), which is directed by Francesca Archibugi (“A Question of the Heart”) and stars Bérénice Bejo (“The Artist”) and Pierfrancesco Favino (“The Traitor”).
