Gloria! opens the Italian showcase of the 29th Cine Europa, offering Filipino audiences an acclaimed musical drama from director Margherita Vicario.
Set in late 18th-century Venice, the film follows Teresa and a group of young women at a music institution as they challenge social expectations and create music of their own. The film premiered in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival and explores themes of creativity, freedom, and women's voices.
The screening takes place in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in the Philippines, which continues to promote cultural exchange between Italy and the Philippines through cinema.
As one of the participating countries in Cine Europa, Italy shares contemporary stories, history, and artistic perspectives with Filipino audiences while strengthening cultural ties between the two nations.
Admission is free. Gloria! screens on 3 June 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at Shangri-La Plaza. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The film will also screen in Tacloban on 7 June, Manila's Metropolitan Theater on 21 June, and Cagayan de Oro on 4 July 4 as part of Cine Europa's regional program.
