This fall our Deep Focus Online Seminar Series takes a look at films in the Italian Neorealism genre. As a special kick off event for the series, we are showing Rossellini's ROME OPEN CITY on the big screen. This was selected by Professors Alan Amtzis and Simona Wright who will lead a series of seminars on the genre online this fall. Learn more about the seminar series at deepfocusfilm.org.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Credited with igniting the neorealist genre, this stunning drama was Roberto Rossellini's revelation, a harrowing story about the Nazi occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against it. ROME, OPEN CITY is a shockingly authentic experience that finds warmth and humor in everyday life. Conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II, it remains a film of electric drama and high emotion, as well as a major turning point in film history. In Italian w/ subtitles.
