Vittorio De Sica (1901–1974) is counted among the most significant and most productive personalities in Italian film history. His filmography comprises more than 30 works as a director as well as the over 150 films in which he acted. Alongside Roberto Rossellini and Luchino Visconti, he was one of the central representatives of neorealism. Shot with non-professional actors at original locations, neorealism combined melodrama and precise observation of specific milieus to present the reality of post-war Italy and showed a keen interest in the fates of the poorest in society. In the 50s, he acted in over 50 films: In his own inimitable way, he often played the bon-vivant, agile and vain, turning the act of wooing women into a veritable art form and relativizing his actions with subtle irony. Arsenal is presenting eight directorial works and five films from De Sica's acting career – many of them as 35-mm-prints – at Bundesplatz-Kino and KLICK Kino. The Hommage Vittorio De Sica is a co-operation with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Berlino.
