The lineup for the second annual Umbria in Sugar Land, an Italian film festival, was announced this week. The festival will be held Oct. 26-28, and screenings will take place at the Sugar Land Auditorium, 226 Lakeview Drive, Sugar Land. The opening film, “Friends by Chance,” tells a coming-of-age story about a hot-headed 22-year-old troublemaker and an elderly poet living with Alzheimer’s disease forming an unlikely friendship, according to a release from Stevens PR Group.

The film festival features both Italian and European films, meetings with film professionals, cultural events and seminars. The weekend is dedicated to cinematographic culture and celebrates professions behind the scenes of the film industry, according to the release. The three-day event features public screenings of five award-winning films from the 2018 international film festival, Festival del Cinema Città di Spello ed i Borghi Umbri (also known as IFFS), according to the release. IFFS is an Italian film festival based in Spello, Italy, an ancient town in the province of Perugia in east central Umbria.
