The volunteers of the ICC's 5th Annual Italian Film Festival are thrilled with the extraordinary artistry and quality of this year's film lineup! Now that the films are selected and the dates set, the next and most important step is ensuring that as many people as possible see these movies!

That said, the film committee extends a warm invitation to you and all ICC members and their guests to join us for four days of Italian film, April 4-7, 2013. Please invite your friends, family and colleagues: The Film Festival is not only one of the ICC's most important fundraisers, it is an opportunity for us to give Twin Cities audiences a multidimensional glimpse of life in Italy today. As a participant in the film festival you and your guests will be treated to:

A selection of exceptional contemporary Italian films that have very limited showings in the U.S. These are films that have won important awards in European film contests; after screening many, many recent films, our committee is sure that you too will find them worthy of their acclaim.
An opportunity to meet Niccolò Bruna, the director of one of the films, "DUST – The Great Asbestos Trial."
A sampling of Italian foods, wine and beers to enjoy before the films.
Lively and thought-provoking post-film discussions.
Information on this year's Film Festival can be found on our Website. Continue to check the website for the most up-to-date information.

1. Save the dates

3. Buy your tickets (on sale soon)

4. Use your own Facebook page and/or Twitter account to share information about the film festival (and include a link to the ICC website). Word of mouth is our most effective form of advertisement!
