The upcoming 56th San Francisco International Film Festival will feature a wide selection of diverse and innovative cinema from all over the world to the Bay Area audience. The SFIFF is the longest-running film festival in the Americas.

The Festival will run from April 25 to May 9 at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas, the Castro Theatre and New People Cinema in San Francisco, and the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley. Almost 200 movies have been selected for this year's annual spring showcase, including three Italian films in the World Cinema section.

The first of the Italian films represents the comeback after nine years of one of Italy's most important directors, Bernardo Bertolucci, who with Me and You (Io e Te, 2012) directed his first Italian-language film in thirty years. This is the first Italian-language film directed by Bertolucci in thirty years. The drama is an adaptation of Niccolò Ammaniti's novel of the same name, and was also screened out of competition at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
