From neorealists De Sica and Rossellini, to modernists Fellini and Antonioni, to newly minted stars like Paolo Sorrentino and Alice Rohrwacher, Italian directors have left an indelible mark on world cinema. Continuing a tradition of bringing the latest Italian films to the Stony Brook community, the Center for Italian Studies at Stony Brook University in collaboration with Associazone Culturale Artistic Souls (Rome, Italy), will present “Italy on Screen Today” Edizione IV to promote Italian contemporary cinema.

The program will feature six recently produced Italian films, all with English subtitles, marking  the 16^th consecutive year for the event. “All these films are recent releases and are examples of what someone who lives in Italy might experience,” said Italian Studies grad student and teaching assistant Antonio Fideleo, who helped coordinate this year’s program.
