Award Winning Movie "The Thin Match Man" at IIC

On Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 9:00 PM, the Italian Cultural Centre in Cairo will host the screening of the movie "The Thin Match Man" (Italy 2009) directed by Marco Chiarini and starring Francesco Pannofino, Marco Leonzi, and Greta Castagna. The movie has won several awards, including the Special Jury Prize at the Cairo International Film Festival for Chidren 2010.

Simone, an eleven year-old boy, has to spend all the summer at home under the ferocious gaze of his father. Outside: the sweet wind of adventure. Inside: the blackest boredom. Then from the city, Lorenza, a thirteen year-old girl with green eyes arrives in Simone’s village. Now is a question of life and death: Simone has to escape his home and run away with Lorenza in his fantastic reign. There, among imaginary friends who talk contrarily, or live in the dark under his bed, or are giant dwarfs, the two teenagers will search for the Match Man, the king of that enchanted bunch.

Italian with English subtitles.
