Casino Royale Open Seeyousound Festival in Turin with Film and Concert
The 12th edition of the Seeyousound International Music Film Festival, Italy's inaugural music-cinema festival, commenced in Turin on February 3, 2026, spotlighting the Italian band Casino Royale. Established in 2012, the festival will continue until March 8, taking place at locations such as Cinema Massimo and SMET. It showcases 68 films, including 3 world premieres, along with 16 musical acts, 2 exhibitions, and an artistic residency. The opening night featured "Casino Royale SUONO/VISIONE/SUONO," which presented screenings of Quarantine Scenario and Alba ad ovest, directed by Pepsy Romanoff and Franky Caradonna. While the films were described as dreamlike yet lacking originality, their soundtracks received acclaim. The evening also included a concert with tracks like "Vivi" and a discussion led by frontman Alioscia Bisceglia regarding the band's political themes. Casino Royale, formed in 1987, released Fumo in 2025. The festival carries the tagline "MAKE SOME NOISE."
