London World Film Festival - 8-10 November 2011

Dear all,
this year I have been involved in the organization of the exhiting London World Film Festival (8-10 November 2011). The theme of this 5th edition is 'Glocal Communities', and for the occasion we have invited two Italian directors Sergio Basso (director of 'Giallo a Milano'), e Agostino Ferrente (director of 'L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio').

The 8th of November, the screenings fo the two films will be followed by a round table, with the directors, that I will chair.
I am looking forward to this!

Please find details of the whole programme here.
