Monthly Italian cinema night at Exeter Phoenix screening 'The Macaluso Sisters' with English subtitles, followed by a talk from the association.
The Italian Cultural Association Exeter is back at Exeter Phoenix on Sunday 22 November, with The Macaluso Sisters taking the screen. It's the first of a new run of monthly cinema nights that stretches well into next year, so if you're after a regular spot for Italian film, this is it.
The association is a community-roots organisation run by Italians living in Devon alongside local people with an interest in Italian culture. They describe their aim as keeping Italian culture alive for the diaspora and offering an insight into it for the wider community. These monthly nights are a good example of that in practice: they programme new-release Italian titles, documentaries and films that have never been seen in the UK before, all shown with English subtitles and open to everyone. The screenings are often introduced by film experts or people specialising in areas of Italian culture, and the nights sometimes round off with music, food or craft. It's a small window into a cinema that ranges from contemporary Italian releases to rediscovered classics.
The Macaluso Sisters kicks things off on 22 November, and the series continues with screenings on Sunday 20 December, Sunday 24 January, Sunday 28 February and Sunday 28 March. If you're planning to make a habit of it, you've got five dates to work with over the next few months.
