Michelangelo Antonioni is one of Italy’s most renowned directors, and his work helped shape Italy’s cinema industry in ways that are still influential today. In his movies, Antonioni explores themes of loneliness, urban life and nostalgia that reveal the 60s bourgeois society to viewers past and present.
To honour the work of this cinema master, the Italian Cultural Institute of Melbourne is proud to promote Moving Story Entertainment for their “2026 Michelangelo Antonioni: Modernist Master“, which will bring some of the director’s main works to Melbourne. The Institute is especially pleased to support Story of a Love Affair and The Identification of a Woman, which will be screened in Elsternwick (Classic Cinemas) and Hawthorn (Lido Cinemas) from February 5th, 2026 to April 23rd, 2026.
