Coming back from our break, join us as we partner with Italian Social Club to screen the iconic Italian movie 8½!

Fellini's avant-garde dramedy follows famous film director Guido as he struggles with writer's block while trying to direct a sci-fi epic, all while reflecting on his life, his successes, and his romances.

Upon release, 8½ received both domestic and international critical acclaim and awards recognitions, including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Costume Design (black-and-white). It has since been selected for preservation by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage on its list of 100 Italian films to be saved (cento film italiani da salvare).
