Italian Screens

Six Films, Three Weekends, One Italian Cinematic Journey

This September, Italian Screens, a special three-weekend showcase bringing 6 contemporary Italian films, will be screened exclusively at GSC Mid Valley from 26 Sept to 11 Oct 2026. This showcase is presented and curated by the Embassy of Italy in Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with the International Department of Cinecittà and GSC International Screens.

Across three weekends, audiences will have the opportunity to discover a diverse selection of acclaimed Italian Cinema, spanning comedy, drama, family stories, and human relationships, while exploring the humour, emotions, and social realities that continue to shape contemporary Italy.

From the resilience of a woman confronting the expectations of family and society in C’è ancora domani (There’s Still Tomorrow), to the stories of friendship, creativity, and female solidarity in Diamanti (Diamonds), contemporary Italian cinema continues to portray everyday life with humour, warmth and emotional precision. La vita da grandi (Siblings) explores the complexities of family and growing up, while Napoli-New York (Naples to New York) follows two children whose journey from post-war Naples to New York becomes an unexpected story of courage, friendship, and discovery. Benvenuti in campagna (Green Family) turns an affectionate and ironic gaze towards the contradictions of rural life, while Il bene comune (The Greater Good) examines the choices and responsibilities that emerge when individual interests meet the needs of a wider community.

All films will be screened every Saturday and Sunday from 26 Sept to 11 Oct, with two films screened on each day. Each film will be screened twice, giving audiences multiple opportunities to experience all the films in this showcase.
