CineDante is back: Il vento fa il suo giro (The Wind Blows Round, 2005)
Italian Film Series: Il vento fa il suo giro [The Wind Blows Round, 2005) Giorgio Diritti
29 August 2025, 6 pm, Building 201 Room 265, University of Auckland
Discussion and refreshments to follow the screening
This month we start the first in a series of three films in the lead up to La Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo (International Italian Language Week), whose theme this year is 'confini'-borders. In addition to considering the Italian language beyond its territorial borders, we also consider internal ‘border’ issues including the survival of minority languages in Italy and the challenges to speakers from other linguistic or cultural backgrounds. This month’s film is set in a small town in the Italian Alps where the language of Occitan is still spoken. A former French teacher decides to relocate his family there to produce goat cheese. At first met with suspicion due to his unconventional ideas and lifestyle, the community eventually welcomes the young family and sees in them a possible rebirth of the town. But little by little misunderstandings, envy and conflicts take over.

Cine Dante: Habemus Papam
Habemus Papam, by Nanni Moretti, 2011
30 May 2025, 6 pm, Building 201, Room 265 The University of Auckland
This month, we take a break from our ‘journey’ films to screen a very timely film. Almost fifteen years before Conclave, acclaimed Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti made an exceptional film that focused not just on the selection of the Pope, but on the human side of the diverse group of cardinals involved in the process and the inevitable deep feelings of doubt experienced by the person elected to the eminent position. The great actor Michele Piccoli delivers an unforgettable performance as the elected Pope who escapes the Vatican and wanders through the streets of Rome in search of answers. Meanwhile, back at the Vatican cappuccino craving Australian cardinals and a hilarious volleyball match overseen by the psychiatrist (played by Moretti himself) add levity to a film that has been called “thought-provoking”, “hilarious”, “sensitive”, and “groundbreaking.” Ultimately as Moretti explains, Habemus Papam is not a film about the Pope or the Catholic Church; it’s a film about humility.
