Ciao, Amici!

This year our Cinema Selection Committee chose three very interesting movies, two comedies and one drama.  In selecting these three movies, we wanted to present to our Santa Barbara audience three different aspects of present-day Italian society.  All movies are in Italian with English subtitles and the admission is FREE.

As in the past, all movies will be introduced to our audience by Anna Brusutti, Cinema Italiano Artistic Director.

Here is this year’s movie line-up:

C’E’ CHI DICE NO  (Some Say No) – Comedy, 2010
