Description: Italian Film Series - "I cento passi / One Hundred Steps" (2000)
7:00 PM on Wednesday, April 5, 2017
Liberal Arts room 117
Join us for our 2nd Annual Italian Film Series at UMass Dartmouth, co-sponsored by the Foreign Literature and Languages Department and the History Department. Following last semester's topic on the Years of Lead, a period of socio-political turmoil and political terrorism between the 1960s and 1980s in Italy, we will be showing films regarding organized crime this semester.
Our third film this semester is "One Hundred Steps" (2000):
"I cento passi" (one hundred steps) was the distance between the Impastatos' house and the house of Tano Badalamenti, an important Mafia boss, in the small Sicilian town of Cinisi. The movie is the story of Peppino Impastato, a young left-wing activist who in the late seventies repeatedly denounced Badalamenti's criminal activities and the whole Mafia system, by using a small local radio station to broadcast his political pronouncements in the form of ironic humor (IMDB).
Free admission. All films have English subtitles.
Any questions may be directed to Prof. Rose Facchini at rose.facchini@umassd.edu or Prof. Matthew Sneider at msneider@umassd.edu.
