Dark Resurrection Volume 0 Short Film. Angelo Licata‘s Dark Resurrection Volume 0 (2011) short film stars Giuseppe Licata, Mattia Stancanelli, Elena Cucci, Fabrizio Fenner, and Daniel McVicar. Dark Resurrection Volume 0‘s plot synopsis: “Master Sorran, is obsessed by his search for an ancient civilization which, according to legend, holds the secret of immortality. After many years he lights upon the wreck of the civilization’s most powerful starship: the Resurrection. Sorran ignores the dangers and orders his crew to dock. The explorers and Sorran himself will face the mysteries of the Resurrection and the secret of the origins of the dark side.”

I only watched the first two minutes of this but the quality is high and I love Star Wars. I am glad to see a film that focuses solely on the Dark Side and The Sith. Click the closed caption button for subtitles in english.

ROME -- Production and distribution company Italian International Film has filed to list its shares on the Milan-based Italian Stock Exchange, stock market regulator Consob said Tuesday .

The 49-year-old company founded by producer Fulvio Lucusano has produced more than 500 films that have won four Nastri d'Argento (Silver Ribbon) awards, four Davide di Donatello awards, and two foreign oscar nominees. The company also produces television content and home videos.

Among the company's recent productions are Fausto Brizzi's "Notte Prima degli Esami -- Oggi" (Night Before Finals 2), one of Italy's top-grossing films so far this year, and "Cemento Armato" from Marco Martani, which raked in nearly $600,000 last weekend to debut at No. 6 on the Italian boxoffice chart.

According to Consob, a date for the initial public offering must be filed within 90 days.

Once complete, IIF will be one of only a small handful of Italian cinema industry companies to have its shares listed publicly.
