The contemporary architecture of Rome – rather than the traditionally seen Roman viaducts and amphitheatres – are at the heart of the beautifully shot and winsomely appealing Nina, which charts the oddball escapades of a young woman in a depopulated Rome during one hot summer. The film is a playfully familiar story of a young woman drifting through life as she tries to find some sort of direction, but debut director Elisa Fuksas … shoots with a real eye for structure and shape, making this Roman holiday interlude an enjoyable and often heart-warming tale.

Paola Suhonen: MOURNING SUN MOTEL
Ahead of Nina, a screening of a different kind of summery story. Designer and filmmaker Paola Suhonen’s short film Mourning Sun Motel tells a fantastical story set 74 years ago at a motel in the Finnish countryside about a solar eclipse and the wait for the end of the world.
