3rd January : To Kill A Mocking Bird (Eng/1962/129mins) Dir. Robert Mulligan. Novelist Harper Lee. Based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning book of 1960.

4th January : Il Giardino Dei Finzi Contini (The Garden of the Finzi Contini) (Italian/1970/95mins) Dir. Vittorio De Sica. A lyrical war drama based on a book by Giorgio Bassani. In Ferrara, Italy, at the beginning of WWII, anti-Semitism is spreading. Mussolini has passed several laws that forbid Jews from going to public schools, joining the army, or marrying non-Jews. While many middle-class Jewish families flee the country, the Finzi-Continis believe it's safe inside their sprawling estate. As a wealthy, aristocratic Jewish family, they think their luxurious garden walls will protect them from fascism. And so, Micol Finzi Contini and her brother invite their Jewish friends to join them in the estate for parties, tennis, and games while the war ravages on. Eventually however, they can pretend no longer, and the war closes in on them. Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, 1971. Collab: Italian Embassy Cultural Centre
