Based on notes discovered posthumously in the desk of legendary Italian film director and screenwriter Federico Fellini, NAPOLI-NEW YORK, the film follows two Neapolitan street children who become stowaways on a ship to New York City to escape post-World War II poverty.
In the immediate post-war period, amidst the rubble of a poverty-ridden Naples, two kids, Carmine and Celestina, try to survive as best they can by helping each other out. One night, they secretly board a ship bound for New York to reach Celestina's sister, who emigrated to America several years earlier. The two children join the many Italian emigrants seeking a new life in America and arrive in an unknown metropolis, which, after a series of misadventures, they will learn to call home.
In Italian with English subtitles. Admission $25; seating is limited.
