3月20日(晚上7点,金博尔剧院)来自意大利的伊曼纽尔·克里亚莱斯(Emanuele Crialese)将带来他的获奖电影《Nuovomundo/Golden Door》(2006),这部电影将魔幻现实主义与历史时期的电影结合在一起,描绘了20世纪初意大利移民到美国的故事。 Crialese’s film won the prestigious Silver Lion “revelation” award at the 2006 Venice film festival and went on to be distributed in the U.S. as part of the “Martin Scorsese Presents” series.
