About the Film:

Bicycle Thieves [1948 / Vittorio De Sica]In postwar Italy a father desperately seeking work is offered a job that requires him to have a bicycle. The family scrapes up money to get his bicycle out of pawn. On the first day of his job putting up posters, the bicycle is stolen. The father and his young son begin a search of Rome to find the bike. Various leads come to naught but the father and son continue the search and learn about each other in the process. The relationship of the father and son evolves and although the circumstances seem tragic one feels the man and his son gained something. The film is considered by critics to be a masterpiece of Italian neorealism film.

The Aurora Film Society

Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $60 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting. We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue.
