The screening series in collaboration with JFC Cinema Lugano concludes with Le assaggiatrici by Silvio Soldini (2025), on Wednesday 7 May at 6:00 PM, at Cinema Iride in Lugano.
Inspired by the novel of the same name by Rosella Postorino, the film tells the story of Rosa Sauer who, along with six other women, is forced for years to sit at a table and taste the food prepared for Adolf Hitler, to ensure it is not poisoned. A reflection on the violation of women’s bodies.
The screening will be introduced by a group of students from the course Festival Economies and Ecologies, taught by Prof. Kevin B. Lee.
We look forward to seeing you at the cinema!
