My Dad Is 100 Years Old

| Canada | 99 MINUTES | English
Documentary
Guy Maddin, whose brilliant work has up to now often involved a teasing but respectful appropriation of devices of 1920's cinema, now moves forward a few decades and creates, through a unique collaboration, an homage to a filmmaker who was one of the most influential of the mid-twentieth century: Roberto Rossellini. His collaborator (or co-conspirator) is Rossellini's daughter Isabella, a remarkable film artist in her own right, who sketches a portrait of her father that is at once intimate and moving, and who also incarnates several key figures in his life: Chaplin, Fellini, Hitchcock, Selznick, and her own mother Ingrid Bergman. The day after the close of the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival will mark the 100th anniversary of Roberto Rossellini's birth, and the following month Isabella Rossellini's new book In the Name of the Father, the Daughter, and the Holy Spirits: Remembering Roberto Rossellini will be released in the U.S. Followed by a screening of a new 35 mm print of one of Roberto Rossellini's greatest films, The Flowers of St. Francis (Francesco, Giullare di Dio; 1950).
