Have you ever been curious about the world of Projection and cinema work? Have you been enamored with the Mystery of moving pictures but never had a chance to learn more? Well, have we got an event for you!
Join us for a Presentation on Film Projection by our Head Projectionist: Erica Gleichman! We will be hosting a 30-minute educational talk before the screening of "Cinema Paradiso." Erica will be sharing her knowledge through a presentation focused on the history and practices of Cinema Projection, as well as some fun anecdotes from her own extensive life experience as a professional projectionist! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the behind the scenes of cinema, and the talented individuals who make it all possible.
🎤 The talk will be 30 minutes, starting at 6:30pm. After this presentation we will have a short intermission, then enjoy the iconic film:
✨ CINEMA PARADISO ✨
Salvatore, a famous film director, returns to his hometown for the funeral of the local theater's film projectionist, Alfredo. He reminisces about his life as a young boy falling in love with cinema.
Reviewers say 'Cinema Paradiso' is acclaimed for its emotional depth, exploring nostalgia, love, and friendship. The bond between Toto and Alfredo, and the magic of cinema, deeply resonates. Ennio Morricone's score and stunning cinematography enhance the film's impact. Themes of loss and change, along with Philippe Noiret's superb performance as Alfredo, leave a lasting impression.
