    Want Roses Too (Vogliamo Anche Le Rose) directed by Alina Marazzi, Italy, 2007, BetaSP, 84 mins, color, Italian with English subtitles. The feminist slogan “We want bread, but we want roses too,” was first chanted by thousands of striking female textile workers in Massachusetts in 1912. Marazzi’s vibrant film is a celebration of women who fought for a world where both the essentials of bread and the poetry of roses have a place. The artistic and educational, personal and political, converge beautifully in this fascinating film that transcends time and culture to reveal many of the universal struggles and inspirations of women’s equality. Preceded by For One More Hour with You (Un’ora sola ti vorrei) directed by Alina Marazzi, Italy, 2002, BetaSP, 55 mins, color, Italian with English subtitles. Winner of best documentary at the Torino Film Festival and a special mention in Locarno, For One More Hour with You is described by Alina Marazzi as “A painful but loving journey in search of a beautiful and suffering mother, whose tormented existence is narrated through the reinvention of old footage and new, stylized, symbolic images.”
