The films and discussions are geared for adults, but most films are suitable for children 10 and older. Films will be introduced with a brief talk about the country, historical context and issues raised.
The series is free to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The next film will be shown at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 in Decker Auditorium, Lewis Hall of Science. The Bicycle Thief (1948), Vittorio de Sica's drama of desperation and survival in post-World War II Rome, features a father whose job depends on his bicycle and the son who helps him pursue the thieves who have stolen it.
