We headed to Turin for the Italian premiere of The Man from Mo'Wax at SEEYOUSOUND festival. Turin is a city quite literally built around cinema. The central Cinema Museum tours above the city and acts as the most recognisable of local landmarks. We of course had to venture inside where we found original Props from Star Wars (including a Darth Fader helmet, something that makes a cameo in our own film), Superman, and Planet of the Apes. The singular glass elevator takes you to the top for stunning panoramic views of the city.
Next door the venue of Cinema Massimo is home to the emerging festival SEEYOUSOUND. Now in its 3rd year the festival features both documentary and fictional films connected by their musical subject matter. The Man from Mo'Wax had a fantastic turnout with over 150 people coming out for the screening followed by a special bilingual Q&A. To top off the night we headed to a specially organised mini Mo'Wax after party until 2am spinning tunes from La Funk Mob, DJ Shadow, Attica Blues and more. A wonderful night.
