Italian Film Festival Extended + Ball Photos in Il Globo Today

Dear members

Big thank you to those who attended the film festival event on Saturday night – it was a great success!

BIG NEWS OF THE DAY is that today’s Il Globo has published pictures from the Italian Ball! Make sure you grab your copy! Also, if you can get yesterday’s copy, there is an article about the Ball on page 40.Both sets will be put on the website/Facebook as soon as we can.

ALSO, as per usual, the Italian Film Festival has been extended. The new sessions are below. We recommend Baaria which, despite its synopsis, is a good humoured yet insightful look into the development of a Sicilian town over the last 70 years and has been drawing packed houses throughout the festival!

Study hard and good luck for exams and assessments!

Dear members

We hope you are enjoying the break.

Due to the amazing response we received, we are out of discounted tickets to the film festival event.However, we encourage you all to still attend and meet up with us on the night.

Also, the Italian Historical Society invites members to attend the grand opening of the new Italian Museum being held this Sunday 3 October in Faraday St. Faraday St will be turned into a piazza to celebrate this opening. The details are in the enclosed flyer.

Enjoy the rest of the break and don’t get too distracted by the fact that there is another grand final this weekend (luckily there will be no draw this time around!)
