La Prima Neve / First Snowfall
Wednesday April 2nd, 5:00pm, UNC Charlotte main campus, Student Union Theater, studentunion.uncc.edu
Director: Andrea Segre. Italy 2013/104 min
Introduction by Director Andrea Segre. Discussion will follow screening.
Andrea Segre’s delicate First Snowfall transposes the discomfort of a young refugee from Togo to the eye-catching location of Italy’s high Alps. With contrived symmetry and drama, the story parallels the angst of the soul-shaken African protagonist who can’t bring up his infant daughter with that of a towheaded local boy who has lost his father. But the unusual setting adds interest to a sensitive, well-shot family film that just opened theatrically in Italy after its Venice Horizons premiere and should have small screen appeal.
