In honor of Italian Heritage Month, UTSA’s Architecture and Modern Languages Departments have teamed up to host an Italian Film Festival throughout October. The department will be screening a modern Italian film every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the first floor gallery within the Monterey building on UTSA’s downtown campus this month. Four films in total will be screened during the festival, and English subtitles will be provided so everyone can enjoy the film together.

Several UTSA professors are in charge of coordinating this event: Angela Lombardi and Mark Blizard with the Architecture Department and Molly Zaldivar, with the Modern Languages Department.    The film festival began as an academic resource for architecture students who have planned to study abroad in Urbino, Italy during the Spring 2018 semester, but the festival has been opened to other UTSA students and the entire San Antonio community at no charge.
