Italian Studies QA with Adam Leon
Adam Leon joined moderator David Fear following a special Patron screening of Italian Studies at Film at Lincoln Center. From awardwinning filmmaker Adam Leon, Italian Studies is a lyrical film about dislocation, connection, and the elusive nature of identity. While visiting New York City from her native London, writer Alina Reynolds (Academy Awardnominee Vanessa Kirby) inexplicably loses her memory and suddenly becomes unmoored and adrift on the streets of Manhattan with no sense of time or place or even her own name. As Alinas consciousness swings between imagined conversations, fragments of her own short stories and the bustling city around her, she finds an anchor in charismatic teenager Simon (Simon Brickner).

With an evocative score from Nicholas Britell, Italian Studies also stars Annika Wahlsten, Anna
