Cinema Italia keeps its Spring tradition alive with a five-film retrospective on Michelangelo Antonioni. The one-day program, co-curated by Luce Cinecittà and The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, is meant to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the passing of one of the most known Italian directors. The Castro Theatre will be, once again, the venue that inaugurates the 2018-2019 tour, screening restored DCPs and new 35mm film prints.

Amelia Antonucci launched the first program in 2013, presenting the best of classic Italian cinema in San Francisco, including Pier Paolo Pasolini (2013), Bernardo Bertolucci (2014), Vittorio de Sica (2015), Anna Magnani (2016), Dino Risi (Spring 2017), Lina Wertmüller (Fall 2017).
