About this Event
Film Screening
McDonald Road Library Film Club in collaboration with French Film Festival UK
In a blend of tragedy and comedy, Alain Ughetto portrays the harsh conditions of an Italian mountain village. The men of the family must do seasonal work in the French Alps or fight in colonial and world wars, while the women and children work in the fields. When the Fascists come to power in Italy, the Ughettos decide to emigrate to the neighbouring country. The beautiful stop-motion technique strikes a balance between heart-rending moments and endearing nuances, coupled with a necessary dose of humour.
No Dogs or Italians Allowed has won several international film awards, including a European Film Award for Best Animated Feature Film and the Jury Prize at the Annecy Film Festival.
