Isabella Rossellini film MY DAD IS 100 YEARS OLD premieres on May 8th
On Monday, May 8th, Sundance Channel salutes master Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini on what would have been his 100th birthday. At 7PM we'll be screening MY DAD IS 100 YEARS OLD, a new short film written by and starring his daughter, Isabella, which made its U.S. premiere at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Guy Maddin, MY DAD IS 100 YEARS OLD is a stylized, witty meditation on Roberto Rossellini's cinematic aesthetic and his belief in cinema as a moral art. Following the screening of MY DAD IS 100 YEARS OLD at 7:15PM will be Roberto Rossellini's own classic 1945 masterpiece, OPEN CITY, a depiction of Italian life under German occupation.
