MARIA BY CALLAS

For the first time, 40 years after her death, the most famous opera singer ever tells her own story – in her own words. Commemorating the centenary of the birth of Maria Callas, the Festival hosts a screening of a unique cinematic hommage, a documentary featuring previously unknown footage, unseen photographs, personal super 8 films, private live recordings, intimate letters, and rare behind-the scenes archival footage for the first time in color. A mark of a whole era, with images of Callas, Onassis, Marilyn Monroe, Alain Delon, Yves Saint-Laurent, J.F. Kennedy, Luchino Visconti, Winston Churchill, Grace Kelly, and Liz Taylor, among others.
