Description
Cinema Paradiso (1988) Director: Guiseppe Tornatore
Young Salvatore Di Vita discovers the perfect escape from life in his war-torn Sicilian village: the Cinema Paradiso movie house, where projectionist Alfredo (Philippe Noiret) instills in the boy a deep love of films. When Salvatore grows up, falls in love with a beautiful local girl and takes over as the Paradiso's projectionist, Alfredo must convince Salvatore to leave his small town and pursue his passion for filmmaking.
Stay for an optional short discussion about the movie afterwards led by Founders Hall Italian teacher Roland Fiorello.
