There is just one chance for Brisbaneites to catch Trifole (Truffles) – a visually stunning modern fable set in the Alba white truffle region of Italy – set to screen across Australia as part of the Espresso Cinema Italian film series this winter.
The story follows Londoner Dalia who returns to care for her aging grandfather Igor, an expert truffle forager.
Armed with his loyal dog Birba, she hunts for a prizewinning truffle to save his home.
Trifole is a moving story of family, connecting to nature and enjoying life’s simple pleasures, the film delves deep into the culture, history and spectacular landscape of Piedmont in northern Italy, the world’s truffle capital.
The film stars Italian screen icon Margherita Buy, 90 year-old Umberto Orsini, Ydalie Turk (also co-writer), and Birba the dog, a real-life truffle hunting star.
It will screen just once at 2pm on August 10 at New Farm Cinemas.
Curated and created by ABCG Film, Espresso Cinema brings a hit of Italian cinema to Australia this winter with an exclusive event series of fresh, new and acclaimed Italian films, from the Venice Film Festival and beyond.
