Italian Film Festival - Detroit
On April 4th, Schlossberg Legal opened the 20th edition of the Italian Film Festival in Detroit at the Detroit Film Theater at the Detroit Institute of Arts. What a privilege!
Opening night featured the film, Grazie Ragazzi, about Antonio, a passionate but often unemployed actor. Faced with a lack of job offers, he accepts a job as a teacher of a theater workshop in a penitentiary institution. Hesitant at first, he discovers talent in the unlikely company of prisoners and this rekindles his passion and desire to do theatre. Antonio manages to convince the prison director to stage Samuel Beckett's famous play Waiting for Godot on a real theater stage. Day after day the inmates let themselves go, discovering the liberating power of art and its ability to give purpose and hope beyond expectation. When the final green light arrives, will the tour be successful?.
The festival goes from April 4th to April 21st and features fifteen Italian films around the Metro Detroit area. Admission is free. For more information visit here.
