LA SECONDA NOTTE DI NOZZE
This is Italy immediately after World War II – Bologna now remnants of fierce battles, churches there being used as large dormitories for those bombed out of their homes, those with homes clinging to the few graces left them, the dishonest slyly stealing those graces.
And in Puglia, hundreds of miles to the south, while olives grow in the sun, mines left behind still threaten children and farmers. So all this is maybe ancient history, but this is Pupi Avati directing, this is Antonio Albanese acting, this is commedia all’italiana, and it is a brilliant commentary on character and culture today in Italy...
Join us for a stylish and festive evening of food, music, friends and film...
When :: Saturday, November 7
Where :: MoPA in Balboa Park
Time :: 5:00 PM (Film starts at 7:00)
Celebrate the Film Festival and Italian culture as you help us transform the Museum of Photographic Arts into an Italian piazza for the evening. A wonderful dinner of delectable Italian food will be prepared and presented by Villa Capri Cucina Italiana – generous supporter of the Italian Film Festival since its inception three years ago. Fabulous music and song will be provided by the incomparable Jim Bianchi Ensemble – also returning to the Gala for the third year in a row. Admission to the film is limited to Gala attendees. There will be no admission to film without Gala ticket.
