Giovanna Taviani, a celebrated Italian film director, will be an artist-in-residence at Rochester Institute of Technology, which sponsored her visit to Rochester to show her film, "Ritorni (Homecomings)," at the High Falls Film Festival.
"Other than being a director, she has created a documentary film festival in Sicily and is a thriving force in the international film scene," said Elisabetta D'Amanda, coordinator of the Italian Language Program in the Modern Languages and Cultures Department at RIT's College of Liberal Arts.
