NEXT WEEK IN BOLOGNA

A tongue-in-cheek nod to Italian Neo-Realism. A pickpocket cinema projectionist in Bologna narrates three intertwining stories of tourists. A timid adjunct professor from Australia struggles to present his paper on the classic film Last Year at Marienbad. An apostate ex-priest gifts a naive and destitute young couple with a camcorder..for possibly lecherous purposes. And the projectionist pursues his own adventure with a lovely but understandably cautious Icelandic girl.

World Premiere: Syracuse International Film Festival, October 21, 2016

"Nilsson has been serving as the conscience and agent provocateur of low-budget American independent filmmaking for thirty years... He has devoted his cinematic career to presenting the sorts of sociological realities, interpersonal interactions, and emotional transactions that have been screened out of big-budget, mainstream American film" - Ray Carney, Professor, Film and American Studies, Boston University. Known for books on actor and director John Cassavetes.
