\n\tEXCLUSIVE: The Piccolo America Foundation\u2019s 12th edition of Il Cinema in Piazza<\/a> has set game designer Hideo Kojima<\/a>, Nicolas Winding Refn<\/a>, Gaspar No\u00e9<\/a>, and Dario Argento<\/a> for a marathon of screenings and conversations from July 4-6 billed \u201cFive Carte Blanche Challenges \u2013 a New Project by Il Cinema in Piazza\u201d. <\/p>\n

\n\tForget about watching movies at the Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, Il Cinema in Piazza is an outdoor film festival (free by the way, there\u2019s no charge for tickets) which runs during the summer in Rome, Italy, a mixture of films and retrospectives chosen by auteurs. Sometimes it\u2019s their own movies, sometimes it\u2019s an auteur\u2019s fave from another filmmaker. This year\u2019s guests also include Jane Campion, Oliver Stone, Ian McKellen, Isabella Rossellini, L\u00e9a Seydoux, Thom Yorke, Jacques Audiard, Pablo Larra\u00edn, Pawe\u0142 Pawlikowski, Rosario Dawson, Josh O\u2019Connor, Marco Bellocchio and Matteo Garrone.<\/p>\n

\n\tIl Cinema in Piazza will unfold across five distinct events in Rome and screenings spread between Cinema Troisi and the venues of Il Cinema in Piazza \u2014 San Cosimato, Cervelletta and Monte Ciocci.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Saturday July 4, at San Cosimato in the heart of Trastevere, Kojima and No\u00e9 will discuss Jigoku by Nobuo Nakagawa. On Sunday July 5 Refn will bring his Cannes out of competition title to Cinema Troisi with a preview screening of Her Private Hell. That night, Refn will move to Cervelletta where he\u2019ll present Deep Red with Argento, Kojima and No\u00e9. The evening will conclude with an extraordinary midnight screening of Tony Scott\u2019s vampire The Hunger (Miriam si sveglia a mezzanotte). The marathon will come to a close on Monday 6 July with Kojima returning to meet audiences for a double event: a screening of Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 by Shunya It\u014d at Cinema Troisi, followed by a tribute to Sergio Leone with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at Monte Ciocci.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Piccolo America Foundation was founded by a group of young Romans committed to protecting the city\u2019s cultural spaces. The org has spent more than a decade fighting against the abandonment of movie theatres in the city and their conversion into hotels, hospitality developments and shopping centers. Their mission has earned the support of Martin Scorsese and Renzo Piano, as well as the attention of Pope Leo XIV, who recently issued a public appeal calling for the protection of cultural venues.<\/p>\n

\n\tPiccolo America were key in getting a proposed law in Italy withdrawn which would have empowered large-scale realtors to mow down 50 abandoned cinemas. The org rescued the historic Cinema America in Trastevere. In 2021, the group completed the restoration and reopened the single screen Cinema Troisi, a retrospective and premiere house which is open 24 hours a day, complete with cafe and student study hall. <\/p>\n
