The second appointment was on April 4, 2023 with Primo amore by Matteo Garrone, a claustrophobic and dark work about the sordid relationship between a man and a girl he intends to mould so that she can conform to his ideal of beauty.
The third event will be held on 18 April with the screening of Incendies by Denis Villeneuve, 2010. The film will be preceded by an introduction by Professor Laura Brignoli, who will explore the figure of playwright Wajdi Mouawad, after whose play the Canadian director's film is adapted.

March 8 is meant to celebrate the progress towards gender equality and the successes achieved by women in the professional, political, economic and cultural spheres, but also to raise awareness among civil society and institutions of the need to take action against the discrimination and violence to which women are still subjected, in different ways, in multiple spheres.
Violence of institutions and power, violence in the couple and in the family, cultural and religious violence, and violence as an end in itself are some of the dimensions through which overwhelm and violence and are manifested: these different perspectives draw the thread of the review. These upcoming events:
- april 18, 2023, 3 p.m. - Sala dei 146: Incendies (Denis Villeneuve, 2010)
- may 2, 2023, 3 p.m. - Sala dei 146: Irréversible (Gaspar Noé, 2002)
