Fireworks
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2023
June 1 - 8, 2023
Based on a true story and set in Sicily in 1982, Giuseppe Fiorello’s debut feature chronicling a budding romance between two teenage boys is a moving examination of the painful moments that produce political change.
Q&A with Giuseppe Fiorello, Gabriele Pizzurro, and Samuele Segreto on June 1
Set in Sicily in 1982, Giuseppe Fiorello’s debut feature chronicles the budding romance between teenagers Gianni (Samuele Segreto) and Nino (Gabriele Pizzurro) in an era inhospitable to their love. Gianni is frequently bullied due to his homosexuality; after a chance encounter leads to his meeting Nino and being hired by Nino’s father, the two boys forge a friendship that slowly but surely mutates into something more. Their bond is soon uncovered by their families, and the promise of tragedy grows to seem all but certain. Based on a true story and drawing from the sensitive performances of its two lead actors, Fireworks is a moving and deeply felt examination of the painful moments that produce political change. A Cinephobia Releasing release.
