Editing Trieste (section)

===Film===
Trieste has been portrayed on screen a number of times, with films often [[Location shooting|shot on location]]. In 1942 the early [[Italian neorealism|neorealist]] ''[[Alfa Tau!]]'' was filmed partly in the city.

Cinematic interest in Trieste peaked during the height of the "Free Territory" era from 1947 to 1954, with international films such as ''[[Sleeping Car to Trieste]]'' and ''[[Diplomatic Courier]]'' portraying it as a hotbed of espionage. These films, along with ''[[The Yellow Rolls-Royce]]'' (1964), conveyed an image of the city as a [[multicultural|cosmopolitan]] place of conflict between [[Great Powers]], a portrayal which resembles ''[[Casablanca (film)|Casablanca]]'' (1943). Italian filmmakers, by contrast, portrayed Trieste as unquestionably Italian in a series of patriotic films, including ''[[Trieste mia!]]'' and ''[[Ombre su Trieste]]''.<ref>Pizzi, Katia.

In 1963 the city hosted the first International Festival of Science Fiction Film (Festival internazionale del film di fantascienza), which ran until 1982. Under the name Science Plus Fiction (now [[Trieste Science+Fiction Festival]]), the festival was revived in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sciencefictionfestival.org/archivio-edizioni/festival-internazionale-del-film-di-fantascienza/fiff-1963/|title=Trieste Science+Fiction – Festival della Fantascienza » FIFF 1963|access-date=16 September 2015|archive-date=9 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709150745/http://www.sciencefictionfestival.org/archivio-edizioni/festival-internazionale-del-film-di-fantascienza/fiff-1963/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://scifiportal.eu/trieste-international-film-festival/|title=Trieste International Film Festival|access-date=16 September 2015|archive-date=2 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130502002956/http://scifiportal.eu/trieste-international-film-festival/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

An interest in the city has been sparked by movies such as ''[[The Invisible Boy (2014 film)|The Invisible Boy]]'' (2014), its sequel ''The Invisible Boy—Second Generation'', and the TV series ''La Porta Rossa''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ilpiccolo.gelocal.it/tempo-libero/2018/03/04/news/il-sequel-della-porta-rossa-apre-il-set-a-trieste-1.16552272|title=Set porta rossa a Trieste|date=4 March 2018}}</ref>
