Italy’s Great Toni Servillo Returns to U.S. Screens in VIVA LA LIBERTA
Many U.S. arthouse moviegoers were wowed last year when they were introduced to Toni Servillo, one of Italy’s finest actors, in The Great Beauty. The film went on to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Next Friday the 28th we are excited to open Mr. Servillo’s latest film to make the journey from overseas, VIVA LA LIBERTA. Servillo plays Enrico Oliveri, a politician who realizes that the decline of his party is inevitable and decides to disappear, fleeing to Paris to find peace in the home of his ex-girlfriend Danielle (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) while creating a panic within the party. His top aide and his wife decide to contact his twin brother, a genius philosopher suffering from bi-polar disorder and living in a psychiatric institution. The three of them concoct a dangerous plan.
We will open VIVA LA LIBERTA at the Royal, Playhouse and Town Center on Friday, November 21.

FOOD CHAINS, Documentary Expose About the Exploitation of Farm Workers, Opens this Weekend with Q&A’s and Panel Discussions
This weekend we open FOOD CHAINS, a new feature documentary that exposes the abuse of farm workers within the United States and the complicity of the multi-billion dollar supermarket and fast food industries. There is more interest in food these days than ever, yet there is very little interest in the hands that pick it. Farm workers, the foundation of our fresh food industry, are routinely abused and robbed of wages. In extreme cases they can be beaten, sexually harassed or even enslaved – all within the borders of the United States.

GLEN CAMPBELL…I’LL BE ME Q&A Tonight at the Music Hall
In 2011, music legend Glen Campbell set out on an unprecedented tour across America. He thought it would last five weeks.

He was told to hang up his guitar and prepare for the inevitable. Instead, Glen and his wife went public with his diagnosis and announced that he and his family would set out on a “Goodbye Tour.”
GLEN CAMPBELL…I’LL BE ME director James Keach, producer Trevor Albert, executive producer Susan Lord Disney and CEO of Alzheimer’s Association Susan Galeas will introduce and participate in a Q&A following the 7:20 pm screening.
