The Italian Film Festival is just around the corner, and to celebrate, The Housewarming Club Film Club is turning the spotlight on one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Italian cinema: Ferzan Özpetek.

We’re talking about him now because his work beautifully bridges cultures, reflecting both his Turkish roots and his deep Italian sensibility. As the Italian Film Festival brings the richness of Italian storytelling to Melbourne, our film club offers the perfect companion space to dive deeper into Özpetek’s unique perspective.

Join us to explore his films, share thoughts, and connect his storytelling to the Italian Film Festival. It’s also a great chance to meet other film lovers and enjoy cinema together. 🫂
