Time:8-10 p.m.
Description:I Film del Circolo presents Emanuele Crialese's "Terraferma" (2011) Italy's official submission to the 84th Academy Awards. Set on a seemingly idyllic Sicilian island at the height of tourist season, the film takes on one of Italy's most delicate current issues - the frequent arrival of shipwrecked immigrants upon its shores. In Italian with English subtitles.

The stunningly filmed natural beauty of the island plays backdrop to the conflict between traditional lifestyle and the encroachments of the 21st century: tourism, immigration and economic crisis.
