Roma. The Eighties. At Night.

The ringing phone surprises filmmaker Salvatore di Vitta. His mother's voice and these few words: "Alfredo is dead". It’s enough to make his childhood reappear: the Giancaldo village in Sicily, the dusty and white square, the church and the parish cinema, where rules the almighty figure of Alfredo, the projectionist...

Regarded as one of the all-time greatest love letters to cinema, winning hearts and awards across the world, including the Academy-Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, Cinema Paradiso also marked the first collaboration between director Giuseppe Tornatore and legendary composer Ennio Morricone, with Tornatore also directing Ennio: The Maestro (SWIFF’23) – the pair’s final film together.

Join us in celebrating the 35th anniversary of this much loved cinema classic.
