Rosi shot “Notturno” over three years along the rattled borders of Iraq, Kurdistan, Syria and Lebanon in his signature observational — but also empathetic — style. The impressionistic doc captures people who have long been contending with the ravages of war and terror, most recently inicted by ISIS.

After launching from the Venice Film Festival, “Notturno” has played at a slew of other top international fests, including Toronto, New York, Tokyo and Busan and garnered critical accolades. –
