Event Details : Screening of the film 'My Name Is Tanino'. 

Tanino is a twenty-year old Sicilian who meets Sally, a beautiful American tourist, who happens to visit his hometown one fateful summer; but when the summer is over, Sally flies back to the States forgetting Tanino and leaving her camera behind. Partly attracted to what she represents - the American dream - and drawn to her as well, Tanino decides to journey to America looking for whatever fortune that may be available to him. Arriving in America turns out to be an exercise in disappointment as he realises that America is not what he imagined it to be. Tanino is mistaken by Sally's father for his wife's lover. Beating a hasty retreat, Tanino takes refuge with an Italian-American family he had met on his trip to the U.S., only to just as quickly find himself affianced to a corrupt politician's daughter. Forced to escape once more, Tanino heads to New York City, which prompts the young man to follow his dream of meeting film director Chinawsky and maybe study with him if the reclusive filmmaker will allow it.
