As part of its Cineclub series, the Italian Cultural Institute will screen the animated feature “Momo alla conquista del tempo” in Italian with English subtitles from May 21-24. Fending for herself in a new town, the young girl finds refuge in an ancient amphitheater. She befriends a boy named Gigi and an elderly street sweeper, Beppo, and soon becomes part of the community.

When the city is overrun by a sinister group of businessmen known as the Grey Men, the residents become obsessed with working as much as possible. Fleeing from the Grey Men, Momo is rescued and brought to a magical kingdom by the Time Master, who tells her only she can save the town. To reserve your seat, click here.
