With a series of events throughout its eight-day run, the 2014 Italian Film and Culture Festival will showcase the richness of Italian culture with food, music, art and more. We'll add an opening Gala Reception and a special opening musical performance on Saturday, February 8. We'll keep the popular film and food-centered event at the South Broadway Cultural Center on Sunday, February 9 and call it the Sunday Festa. The festival's signature closing event - always a sell-out - featuring a great film and a great dinner at Scalo's is also a keeper. For 2014 it will be known as the Gran Finale. Plans are underway for other special events that will make the festival fun and enhance the week's Italian experience for our patrons.
