Dear friends, here we are with the third Italian Movie Night! Tuesday November 11 we have the pleasure to invite you to the screening of “Terraferma”, winner of the Silver Lion special jury prize at the 2011 Venice Film Festival and candidate as best foreign language movie at the 2012 Academy Awards. The movie tells the tale of Linosa, a small Mediterranean island south of Sicily - far from the Italian mainland which the locals call terraferma - that struggles to cope with an influx of tourists and shipwrecked immigrants. It focuses on a small community of fishermen whose island is transformed by the intrusion of the outside world. The communitys way of life and their traditions are brought into sharp conflict with the authorities desire to control irregular immigration by sea from North Africa. The fishermans sacrosanct law of the sea – to always save human life in peril – is put in doubt by official directives not to aid illegal immigrants, and by some of the islanders who make a living from tourism. Official trailer: https://youtube/watch?v=834BqSkTy_c The movie is in Italian with English subtitles. Where: Filmhuis Alkmaar (Verdronkenoord 12 - 1811 BE Alkmaar). Entrance: 10 € The entrance includes one coffee/tea before the movie and a glass of Prosecco (or any drink of your choice) to accompany Italian appetizers after the movie.
