Cinema Italy

Italian cinema returns to Miami Beach with a four-day showcase of contemporary films that have gained recognition at major international festivals. Held at O Cinema South Beach, the 21st edition of Cinema Italy Miami runs from April 25 to 28 and features a curated selection of ten films, each presented in Italian with English subtitles.

The program opens on Friday, April 25 at 7:00 p.m. with Romeo è Giulietta (Romeo Is Juliet), a romantic comedy by Giovanni Veronesi. The story follows a once-prominent director who attempts to stage a final theatrical comeback with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. A rejected actress returns to the audition disguised as a man and is cast in the lead role, setting off a humorous and layered exploration of gender roles and performance.

Throughout the weekend, screenings include family dramas, comedies and thought-provoking social narratives such as:

• Pare Parecchio Parigi (A Lot Like Paris) – Apr 26, 2:30 p.m.
• L’Ordine del Tempo (The Order of Time) – Apr 26, 4:30 p.m.
• Io e Il Secco (My Killer Buddy) – Apr 26, 7:00 p.m.
• Primadonna (The Girl from Tomorrow) – Apr 26, 9:00 p.m.
• Volare – Apr 27, 2:30 p.m.
• I Limoni D’Inverno (Winter Lemons) – Apr 27, 4:30 p.m.
• Il Punto di Rugiada (The Dew Point) – Apr 27, 7:00 p.m.
• Un Mondo a Parte (A World Apart) – Apr 27, 9:00 p.m.
• Il Tempo Che Ci Vuole (The Time It Takes) – Apr 28, 7:00 p.m.

Individual tickets are available for $13 at the box office and a $70 festival pass grants access to all ten films. Nearby parking is available at 512 12th Street.
