JUNE COMING ATTRACTION:
Another pre-theatrical release!

Synopsis: Mountain Shadow has snagged another pre-theatrical release film from Italy. In observance of Father’s Day weekend, and -- through the lens of the filmmaker herself -- she tells a personal story about a father and his daughter who inhabit the rooms of her childhood and the magical childhood of Pinocchio, the film her father is producing. It’s cinema and life. It’s a childhood that seems perfect. But then she grows up, and does everything wrong; falling and getting back up, starting over, growing old, becoming fragile, letting go, but never getting lost. There’s the time it takes to save yourself. Bio-drama / NR / 110 min. / English subtitles. TRAILER
