THE Maleny Film Society will wrap up the 2024 film season with a bang, presenting their final screening of the year: the multi-award-winning Italian film,
There’s Still Tomorrow. Set in post-war 1940s Italy, this low-budget, neorealist film by Paola Cortellesi topped the Italian box office in 2023, earning multiple awards and captivating audiences with its reputation as “bold, enthralling, funny, and unmissable.”
The story follows Delia, a woman striving to break free from entrenched patriarchal family dynamics while pursuing her own aspirations.
Her challenges include rescuing her daughter from a dangerous suitor and exercising her right to vote in Italy’s first post-war election.
Additionally, she must navigate the complexities of her violent husband, a task requiring feminist-inspired strategies.
The film has won several prestigious accolades, including Best Director Debut, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay at the Donatello Awards (Italy’s equivalent to the Oscars).
There’s Still Tomorrow screens on Saturday, December 7, at the Maleny Community Centre at 3pm and 7pm. For more information, visit www. malenyfilmsociety.au.
