Voyage to Procida

Join us at the Museo Italo Americano for a special screening of Voyage to Procida, a 64-minute film directed by Federico Siniscalco that brings together the worlds of New York and the enchanting island of Procida in the Bay of Naples. Blending fiction with the intimacy and realism of documentary filmmaking, the film offers an authentic portrait of Procida and its people. In keeping with the filmmakers’ approach, most of the cast are local residents of Procida rather than professional actors, bringing their own lived experience and the rhythms of everyday island life to the screen. The film is both in English and Italian with English subtitles. Following the screening, Professor Siniscalco will give a special presentation in Italian, sharing insights into the making of the film and the island that inspired it. This presentation will be of particular interest to Italian-language students and Italian speakers. Wine and light refreshments will be served. Come enjoy an afternoon of Italian cinema, culture, and conversation!
