Saint Clare starring Bella Thorne will open this year’s Taormina Film Festival. The July fest has unveiled gala lineup, including action title Twisters directed by Lee Isaac Chung starring Daisy Edgar-Jones; psychological thriller The Surfer by Lorcan Finnegan starring Nicolas Cage and Il giudice ed il boss, which comes from the director of Placido Rizzotto, Pasquale Scimeca.
The main titles are completed by three rom-coms with the British-Icelandic Touch, directed by filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur and starring Kôki; and two Italian films, L’invenzione di noi due by Corrado Ceron starring Lino Guanciale, Silvia D’Amico and Paolo Rossi; and Finché notte non ci separi by Riccardo Antonaroli starring Pilar Fogliati, Filippo Scicchitano and Valeria Bilello, which closes the festival.
There will be an international premiere of From Ground Zero that presents the “tale of untold stories” signed by 22 young Palestinian filmmakers who have filmed daily life in Gaza.
As ever, there will also be the regular Sicilian space titled Officina Sicilia. Taormina said “for this edition, Marco Müller the eight-time director of the Venice Film Festival has developed a programme with a broad cultural and geographical range, made up not only of films.” It added that the Fondazione Taormina Arte Sicilia, which has produced and organized the event for a number of years, “plans to implement new strategies to promote the festival in the medium and long term.” Taormina takes place July 12 for a week and is the fest’s 70th edition.
