TOTÒ E DAIANA (Calcio, caffè e Fish & Chips) finalist at the Rome Web Fest
The British-Italian sketch comedy “Totò e Daiana (Calcio, Caffè e Fish & Chips)” has been officially selected among the 10 finalists of the Rome Web Fest 2018.
The Festival will take place from the 28th to the 30th of November at Casa del Cinema of Rome. TOTÒ E DAIANA (Calcio, Caffè e Fish & Chips) will be screened the 29th November at 3pm.
The Roma Web Fest is the first official Italian Festival of the web series and aims to promote a new model of interaction between the traditional film and the latest kind of productions, which use Internet to create and upload their contents.
“Totò and Daiana (Calcio, Caffè e Fish & Chips)” is written and interpreted by Anna Elena Pepe and Marco Gambino in collaboration with renewed Italian Author Ciccio Bozzi, is directed by Riccardo Sai and set entirely in London.
The project explores the lives of two Italians in London during the uncertainties that Brexit brought. They probably wouldn’t have created a bond of friendship if they were not in a foreign country and in a state of solitude. Football fans or not, expats or not, Totò and Daiana represent every person who is looking for their place in the world. A place that turns out to be very different from what they imagined.
“It is an honour for me to talk about my hometown and show our work to which I am particularly attached. For the occasion I decided to wear the cap of SPAL, hopefully this will bring us luck!” (Anna Elena Pepe)
“Toto’ like Toto Schillaci, an absolute myth for my hometown : Palermo. The arancina, the ultimate sicilian food. A perfect way to go back to my roots thanks to Toto’ and Daiana.” (Marco Gambino)
