New international recognition for MALLEUS<\/span><\/h4>\n

After its success at the Film Fest International<\/a> of Edinburgh, \u201cMALLEUS\u201d <\/strong> (2023) \u2013 feature film directed by director and RUFA lecturer Andr\u00e9s Rafael Zabala<\/a> – is the only Italian film among the eight in competition in the PANORAMA section of the
\nFestival de Cine F\u00e0ntastico de Bilbao<\/a><\/strong>, and will be screened at 22:00 on Sunday 7 May.
\nA few days later, on Thursday 8 June, MALLEUS will also be screened out of competition during the Festival Internacional de Cine de Alicante<\/a>. Un nuovo riconoscimento a livello internazionale dopo una lunga serie di successi, una gioia che il regista condivide con tutti i membri della troupe, molti dei quali ex studenti e docenti RUFA. Il progetto ha infatti coinvolto numerosi diplomati RUFA nel ruolo di assistenti e capi reparto, con la partecipazione straordinaria di professionisti che appartengono corpo docente dell’Accademia: nel cast l\u2019attore Francesco Polizzi, tutte le musiche originali composte dal sound designer Federico Landini. Tullio Morganti, Christian Angeli, Franca De Angelis, Andrea Costantini e Massimo Intoppa \u2013 docenti dell’area Cinema – hanno offerto la propria consulenza nel corso del progetto. La locandina ufficiale di MALLEUS \u00e8 firmata Cappelli Identity Design, agenzia creativa diretta dal coordinatore di Visual and Innovation design Emanuele Cappelli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The screening of MALLEUS at the ‘Golem Alh\u00f3ndiga Theatres’ in Bilbao will be an opportunity to remember the co-writer and star of the film, Rosanna Fedele (BEA), who passed away last March.<\/span><\/h4>\n

 
\nDirector Andr\u00e9s Rafael Zabala’s comment: “The film deals with a big problem in Italy: taxes. All the characters involved in the story are in some way victims of the injustice of the tax system. We gave the tax collection agency a fictitious name, “TRIBUTA PAX”, a fictitious name, but the problem addressed and all the characters’ dialogues are felt to be very real, authentic. I call MALLEUS a ‘social horror’. My intention was to combine ‘genre cinema’ (killers, violence, ghosts) with ‘art cinema’ (theme of social injustice, slow pace, introspective characters)’.<\/em>
