Fall in love with Italian cinema...
It has been said that the history of Italian cinema represents one of the most glorious and energetic celebrations of the medium of cinema that any nation has ever offered.
For many years this astonishing legacy was largely unseen, but the DVD revolution is making virtually everything available, from Steve Reeves' muscle epics to long-unseen Italian art house movies, the latter often known to cinephiles by name only.
Visionary since it's founding in 1915 the Italian Film Society today presents a medley of year-round offerings that embrace the artistry and innovation of the world's most imaginative storytellers.
The celebration of the transformative power of the moving image is at the very heart of everything the Film Society does.
