All’armi siam fascisti! (To Arms, We Are Fascists!)
Sun, Mar 20 | 2pm | TMT
In 1962, in the wake of anti-fascist clashes that left protestors dead in Italy, Cecilia Mangini, with her husband Lino Del Fra and Lino Miccichè, directed the feature documen- tary All’armi siam fascisti! . A landmark piece of political filmmaking in post-war Italy, the film interrogates the Catholic Church’s role in the rise of fascism and doesn’t hesitate to call out how right-wing politics were still present in the country. Using archival footage with poetic narration, All’armi siam fascisti! remains essential viewing today.
DIRECTORS: Lino Del Fra, Cecilia Mangini, Lino Miccichè. CAST: Giancarlo Sbragia, Emilio Cigoli, Nando Gazzolo.
1962. 109 min. Italy. B&W. Italian. DCP.
