Join us for the Winter 2025 Italian Film Series, “Chain Reaction/Reazione a catena,” sponsored by Dante Alighieri Society of Santa Cruz. This season’s films follow protagonists living during pivotal eras of Italian history whose lives are unexpectedly changed by the far-reaching consequences of a decision. Set in the 19th century and in post-war Rome, these dramatic art films invite us to consider how historical circumstances shape our lives and how our choices create effects that ripple through history. All of these films are in Italian with English subtitles. Logan Walker, film lecturer from UCSC & Director of Programming, SV Film Festival, will introduce and have a Q&A after the film. The first film co-sponsored by the Santa Cruz Jewish Film Festival is: Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara (Rapito). Directed by Marco Bellocchio, 2023. From one of Italy's most revered directors, Marco Bellocchio, comes Kidnapped, the true story of Edgardo Mortara. Mortara was a young Jewish boy living in 19th Century Bologna, Italy, who, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family by the Pope, to be raised Catholic. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification. no tickets required, although seating is limited; first come, first served cash donations welcome at the door for more info and to sign up for event reminders: https://www.dantesantacruz.com/events Information Source: Dante Alighieri Society of Santa Cruz County | eventbrite
