The 15th edition of Trieste Science+Fiction comes to life this evening: the only festival in Italy dedicated entirely to science fiction, with more than seventy films being shown and twenty-two Italian premi\u00e8res that showcase the best science fiction, fantasy and horror.<\/p>\n
The opening film is the long-awaited Italian premi\u00e8re of Frankenstein, by Bernard Rose (cult director and author of, among other things, Candyman and The Devil’s Violinist), a film set in modern day Los Angeles and told entirely from the perspective of the monster, portrayed by Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), whilst Carry-Anne Moss (The Matrix, Memento, Pompeii) and Danny Huston (21 Grams, Children of Men, Big Eyes) play a pair of eccentric scientists who bring the creature to life. ‘Feeling the monster’s confusion and pain, and entering its mind, is what most interests me about this story,’ said the director.<\/p>\n
