A daily rendezvous with films that depict today's Italy. Italians get-together shows another screen, the one which depicts our real country and not the one we are told about by the media.
Independent films that are not often released in cinemas, and tell stories in a new and not easy way.
Italians get-together is a film show and a lab that explains us how we can give an insight into our country through the images.
Filmmakers will be present at every screening in order to discuss their own films with the public.
