Pompei: Below the Clouds
POMPEI: BELOW THE CLOUDS
a film by Gianfranco Rosi
From award-winning filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi comes Pompei: Below the Clouds, a striking portrait of life in Naples, a city living in the shadow of Vesuvius. Beneath the quiet threat of eruption, people go about their days: archaeologists unearth the past, children learn as the earth hums, firefighters wait for the next call. The result is a portrait at once local and universal: a reflection on humanity’s capacity to live, love, and rebuild in the shadow of the unimaginable.
WINNER: Special Jury Prize, 2025 Venice Film Festival OFFICIAL SELECTION: 2025 New York Film Festival
“Gianfranco Rosi makes documentaries like no one else.” — The Hollywood Reporter
“A documentary fascinated by the fragility and suspension of life” — RogerEbert.com

La Grazia
LA GRAZIA
a film by Paolo Sorrentino
From Academy and BAFTA Award–winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, LA GRAZIA is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Toni Servillo – winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival – stars as Italy’s outgoing president, Mariano De Santis, navigating moral and personal crossroads with the help of his confidante and daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). With Sorrentino’s signature poetic vision and an evocative soundtrack, this heartfelt masterwork is an intimate meditation on fatherhood, conscience, and the enduring question: who owns our days?
WINNER: BEST ACTOR – Toni Servillo – 2025 Venice Film Festival
