Passion. Jealousy. Revenge. Join us for the world premiere of this silent Italian drama beautifully restored by Cineteca di Bologna with a new live Southern Italian score by seven-piece band The Badwills. Filmed on the streets of Napoli in 1915, ASSUNTA SPINA stars Francesca Bertini, one of Italian cinema’s greatest ‘silent diva’ actresses, smouldering on-screen as she’s torn between the men who can’t control her passions.
Complementing the film’s striking Neapolitan setting, The Badwills’ new score draws on traditional songs and tunes of the time and is co-commissioned by Glasgow Film Festival and A Kind of Seeing. Tambourines at the ready!
