Students from the Italian program at Meredith College attended the 16th annual Nuovo Cinema Italiano Film Festival in Charleston, S.C., November 11-13, 2022, together with their instructor, Sandra Pesoli. The festival, hosted by the College of Charleston, screened 13 Italian movies produced in Italy over the past two years.

The movies included a mix of comedies, dramas, and documentaries, and featured the film Nostalgia by Mario Martone, which will represent Italy at the 2023 Academy Awards in the International Feature Film Award category. “The NCIFF provides an extraordinary opportunity to learn about the Italian culture in all its variety and seize the chance to see through another’s eye,” explained Artistic Director Giovanna De Luca.
