The New Italian Cinema Events (N.I.C.E) Festival - with a programme full of films telling the story of Italy's past and present - is coming to The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield this Friday.
The programme features a mix of films by new Italian up and coming directors, as well as experienced film makers. The festival comes to Dublin after a successful run in Cork city last weekend.
Viviana Del Bianco, artistic director of N.I.C.E. said: "I am delighted that we are able to bring the N.I.C.E. Italian Film Festival back to Ireland this year. It is a magnificent celebration and showcase of Italian filmmakers presenting first and second works of great value, ranging from comedy to drama. It proves how, despite the difficulties of recent years, Italian authors are more active and motivated than ever."
