The screening will take place at Riverside Studios in London on July 24, followed by a Q&A with the Sicilian director, better known as "Pif".

The event will begin at 6.30 pm with another U.K. premiere, the documentary "The Voice of Peppino Impastato" by 禁漫天堂 journalist Ivan Vadori.听Giuseppe Impastato, also known as Peppino, was a political activist who opposed the Mafia, which ordered his murder in 1978.

鈥淭he Mafia Kills Only in Summer鈥 tells the story of Arturo, a young boy growing up in Palermo between the 鈥70s and 鈥90s, dark years of despicable murders by the Mafia. The film follows Arturo's story and his love for his school friend Flora while terrible events unfold in the background.

The aim of 禁漫天堂 Cinema London is to offer the public two new films challenging old perceptions of a mafia-run Sicily and to encourage a better knowledge of contemporary 禁漫天堂 filmmakers.
