The film has its world premiere on Friday 17 May at Cinéma Olympia

CANNES – ‘THE RACE OF LOVE’ arrives at the Marché du Film of the Cannes Film Festival. The film, a romance, is produced by Enrico Pinocci and directed by Alfio D’Agata, with an international cast: Ciara Hanna ( ‘Stars Fell On Alabama’, ‘Stars Fell Again’, ‘Power Rangers Megaforce’), Thomas Gipson (‘Love’s Fast Lane’, ‘Burning Little Lies’), Blanca Blanco (‘Eye for Eye’, ‘Betrayed’), Letizia Pinocci (‘Mission Possible’, ‘6 Children & 1 Grandfather’) and Harmony McElligott (‘You Can Do Better’,’ Life Whack’).

It was shot in Los Angeles and around the evocative racetracks of Vallelunga (the main location), Misano, Rio and Monte Carlo.
