    The Cinema Studies Program and the Center for Italian Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia, present the 2012 edition of the New Authors of Italian Cinema, a free admission film festival made possible thanks to the support of N.I.C.E. New Italian Cinema Events and aimed toward the promotion of the Italian Cinema abroad. Feature films, which have been chosen among the best made by up-and-coming Italian film directors, will be presented at International House Philadelphia from November 29th through December 2nd. Each film will be introduced and discussed by some of Penn’s PhDs in Italian, so to ideally continue the dialogue among new “authors.” The final comments of the festival will be addressed by Stefania Benini, Professor of Italian Cinema at the University of Pennsylvania.
