Cinema Italian Style film fest and photography exhibit
Award-winning veteran photographer Douglas Kirkland has an exhibit of his "Homage to Classic Italian Cinema" portfolio, created for Vanity Fair Italia, on display at the Instituto Italiano di Cultura in Westwood until Nov. 27. The photographs are “remakes” of 25 famous moments from classic Italian cinema -- think Monica Vitti in "Red Desert" or a mise-en-scene from Fellini's "8 1/2" -- with well-known contemporary Italian actors like Monica Bellucci, Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Pierfrancesco Favino standing in for the greats of Italian cinema. A parallel exhibit of the original black-and-white film stills accompanies the show.
The exhibit is part of the Cinema Italian Style film festival, which runs from Nov. 10-15 at The American Cinemateque at The Egyptian Theater, 6712 Hollywood Blvd.
