Salty Air Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Alessandro Angelini, Country: Italy, Release: 2006, Runtime: 87 A riveting debut feature by Alessandro Angelini, Salty Air charts the emotional minefield that opens up as a young man attempts to reach into a past everyone else would rather forget. Fabio is a social worker in a prison. When Sparti, a stone-faced new transfer, arrives, Fabio suspects Sparti may be his own father, a man convicted for murder who, years before, told his wife and two young children to forget him. Aided by some wonderful performances—especially by Giorgio Pasetti as Sparti—Angelini allows the rawness of the emotions being tapped to really burst forth; encounters and confrontations often veer off in uncharted directions, as the jagged rhythms of the film give it a seething, explosive quality. Born in Rome, Alessandro Angelini worked as a photographer before beginning a filmmaking career that has included work with such directors as Nanni Moretti, Mimmo Calopresti, Francesca Comencini and Sergio Rubin. Salty Air is his fictional feature debut. Fri Mar 23: 6:00pm at The Museum of Modern Art Sun Mar 25: 5:45pm at the Walter Reade Theater
