The Minor in European Studies, Department of English – The Hong Kong Polytechnic University presents and organizes the HK PolyU – European Film Festival 2019 (19th February – 2nd April 2019) with the support of the University Learning Hub Pao Yue-Kong Library, the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao, the Goethe Institut and the Consulates General of Spain, Sweden, Hungary, France, Italy and Switzerland.
This year, seven films have been chosen for free admission screenings from Sweden (Dom över död man), Germany (Das Leben der Anderen), Spain (Pa Negre), France (Fatima), Italy (Patria), Switzerland (Eldorado), Hungary (Északi Fény).

Italy will be represented by the movie Patria (2014, 88 mins) on 19 March 2019 (AG710), 7 pm. Directed by Felice Farina, the film will be screened in Italian with English subtitles.

Synopsis of Patria: The factory is being shut down and workers are being fired, the umpteenth in the Turin area. Jobs are gone, the identity is gone, certainties are gone. Salvatore Brogna, a worker climbs up the factory tower out of protest or maybe only out of blind rage, threatening to throw himself down. Giorgio, a worker and shop steward whose nature and political beliefs are opposite those of Salvatore, get there to save him from falling. The third one, who is visually impaired and autistic, is a keeper who has been hired as member of a category enjoying special protections and he joins the other two heroically climbing the tower to keep them company. During the night, abandoned by everybody, desperately waiting for some journalists to arrive, these so different points of view on the world review the last thirty years of life of the Country, the years which led them to climb the dangerous tower.
