About the Event
Dante Fall 2024 FILM Series: Portraits of Community/Ritratti di comunità
With the patronage of the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco
Series description:
This season's films celebrate the community as star. These light-hearted films feature ensemble casts navigating the joys and challenges of living on common ground. From the exuberant energy of village celebrations to the heartwarming bond between truffle hunters and their dogs, and solidarity forged through adversity, these stories remind us of the profound impact of shared experiences.
The September film is: Amarcord. Dir. Federico Fellini. 1973. (124 mins)
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5iNjuZfYv0
This carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the fascist period satirizes director Federico Fellini’s youth and turns daily life into a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge, all set to Nina Rota’s classic, nostalgia-tinged score. Fellini’s most personal film, Amarcord’s dream-like series of vignettes recalls the larger-than-life personalities of the Rimini community. The Academy-Award winning Amarcord remains one of cinema’s enduring treasures.
