Italian film releases October 2026

Entities: Fausto Brizzi · Medusa Film · Beniamino Zuncheddu · Quasi Vera · Mauro Trogu

Overview

Italian distributors announced that two new movies will debut in October 2026. The lead title, *Quasi Vera*, is a comedy‑drama by director Fausto Brizzi starring Frank Matano as an aspiring actor who uses artificial‑intelligence tools to create a viral virtual influencer. The film satirises deep‑fakes, AI‑generated avatars and the pressure for flawless online personas.

Alongside *Quasi Vera*, the October slate includes *Zustissia*, a drama by Francesco Piras that retells the 1991 triple murder in South Sardinia and the subsequent wrongful conviction of Beniamino Zuncheddu, whose acquittal in 2024 was secured after decades of legal struggle. Both films highlight distinct aspects of contemporary Italian storytelling – one through a satirical look at digital culture, the other through a true‑crime review of a historic miscarriage of justice.
