Congratulations to Edoardo De Angelis, whose film Il vizio della speranza will be presented in the Official Selection of the thirteenth edition of the Rome Film Fest, which will take place from 18th to 28th October 2018 at the Auditorium Parco della Musica.

This was announced by the Artistic Director Antonio Monda in agreement with Laura Delli Colli, at the head of the Fondazione Cinema per Roma. “I’m happy and honored to host a film at the Rome Film Fest that confirms the great talent of Edoardo De Angelis – said Monda – What makes the film touching and powerful is the way the director manages to tell the hope in a world of desolation”. Il vizio della speranza, written in collaboration with screenwriter Umberto Contarello, was presented at the last edition of the MIA|Co-production Market and Pitching Forum and tells the story of a woman who works with child traffickers.

Il vizio della speranza’s story is set in Castelvolturno, Campania, and the cast includes Pina Turco, who plays the protagonist Maria, Marina Confalone, Massimiliano Rossi, Cristina Donadio and Marcello Romolo. Produced by Tramp Limited and O’Groove (Attilio De Razza and Pierpaolo Verga), the film is being distributed by Medusa.
