SUMMARY:SPETTACOLO - 5:30PM
DESCRIPTION:SPETTACOLO – Buy Tickets Now!\n\nSunday\, February 4\, 5:30 pm  \nDirected by: Jeff Malmberg and Chris Shellen\nDocumentary\, PG\, 91 min.\, Italian with English subtitles (USA) \n  \n“Spettacolo stands as a testament to making art in the face of general indifference and worldly decline\, and the belief that a can-do spirit and deep-seated cynicism are not mutually exclusive ideas.” – Virkram Murthi\, AV Club \n  \n“An engaging and wistful look at the tiny Tuscan village of Monticchielo and its longtime tradition of producing “autodramas\,” works crafted by\, starring and thematically inspired by its residents.” – Gary Goldstein\, Los Angeles Times \n  \nOnce upon a time\, villagers in a tiny hill town in Tuscany came up with a remarkable way to confront their social issues: they turned their lives into a play. Every summer\, their piazza became their stage\, and residents of all ages played a part; the role of themselves. Monticchiello’s annual tradition has attracted worldwide attention and kept the town together for 50 years\, but with an aging population and a future generation more interested in Facebook than farming\, the town’s 50th anniversary performance might just be its last. Spettacolo tells the story of Teatro Povero di Monticchiello\, interweaving episodes from its past with its modern day process\, as the villagers turn a series of devastating blows into a new play about the end of their world. \n  \nAwards: \nWon\, Audience Award\, Biografilm Festival\, 2017\nWon\, Special Jury Prize\, Dallas International Film Festival\, 2017\nWon\, Jury Prize\, Key West Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Critics Choice Documentary Awards\, 2017 \n
