Screening of Caterina va in Città
Caterina is the 13-year-old only child of an aspiring novelist and accounting teacher at a country school in a rural area north of Rome. In spite of his often lucid assessments of modern society, he is a burned-out teacher whose job (perhaps among other, undisclosed personal experiences) has imbued him with bitterness, social resentment, a sheer lack of perspective concerning human relations and an overbearing holier-than-thou demeanor that is a major plot point throughout the film. After finally securing a long-coveted teaching position, he relocates his daughter Caterina and his timid, long-suffering, wife Agata to his birthplace, the big city of Rome.Admission to the film festival is free and everyone is encouraged to bring a beach chair or a blanket. Donations are welcome and refreshments will be sold. Parking is available across the street at Notre Dame Academy. Screenings begin at 8:00 PM, Rain or Shine. Please note that many of the films have not been rated and may not be suitable for younger audiences.
