Cinema with a Social Conscience: Italian Neorealism is coming to Villanova University. According to information provided by Alessandra Seggi, the creator of the event, “the series aims to screen films by or about Neorealist filmmakers with relevant U.S. counterparts. For each film, I envision a screening, plus a lively conversation between a filmmaker, a Villanova faculty member and/or another esteemed guest scholar.”

The films will be screened on selected Sundays at 3:30 and 7 p.m. and on selected Mondays at 7 p.m. in the Cinema, Connelly Center, Radnor PA, at Villanova University. “I facilitate introductions and conversations with leading scholars at the Monday screenings only. Anchored in Film Studies, the discussions indeed aim to be multidisciplinary,” Seggi said.
