Cinema Italia: Cinema Paradiso (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1988)

Sunday February 2, 2025, Cinema Italia: Cinema Paradiso * 1988 * Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore * 173 min * In Italian with English subtitles * doors open at 20:00, film starts at 20:30. After the film, please engage in sharing comments, ideas, and inspiration with the host(s) of the evening!

The public image of this film is that of a portrait of a neorealist Sicily in the past, with a vein of nostalgia. And a homage to cinema, for the many citations of classics, especially American films. But it is much more than that. Cinema Paradiso tells the story of cinema as a unique experience: in each projection, the projected film is only part of the story; the audience plays an essential role in the experience, transforming the film, and even a role plays the projectionist, often forgotten. In the latter, this film tells us about a form of art and poetry that disappeared with digitalization. In the background, many political messages, such as those of the Communists in Sicily, were at the margins of a society where poverty was an everyday reality. This makes us question what we are ready to sacrifice to escape misery.

Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Free entrance. You want to screen a movie, let us know: joe [at] lists [dot] squat [dot] net

Benefit Dinner for a Mountain-Workshop at Mas L’ombra

Thursday January 30, 2025, Benefit Dinner for a Mountain-Workshop at Mas L’ombra. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

We will cook a multi-coarse meal; on donation, to help us build a workplace hidden in a mountain valley. We are a group of youngsters that recently acquired a piece of forest/mountain land, in our quest for a more ‘nature centered’ life of learning, sharing and freedom. This spot is called Mas L’ombra, located in a small valley in the mighty Pyrenees, southern France.
So now, in order to continue building beautiful things over there, we are striving to build an amazing workshop this summer! And we could really use some extra cash to do so…. in order to buy some wood, roofing and tools.
Therefore, we would love for you to come have some bites with us and support our cause! Hope to see you Thursday! […Lees verder]
