Life is Beautiful and we want your photos

Our next film night will be this Sunday, February 12th at 7:00pm. We'll be watching Life is Beautiful ("La Vita è Bella"), an Italian film directed by Roberto Benigni and winner of multiple Oscars (1999 - best foreign language film, best leading actor, best original dramatic score). The location will be the Clem/Teubner/Titus household, and maps will be available on Sunday morning. Again, you are encouraged to bring snacks and beverages (preferably Italian!).

Plot Summary:
In 1930s Italy, a carefree Jewish book keeper named Guido starts a fairy tale life by courting and marrying a lovely woman from a nearby city. Guido and his wife have a son and live happily together until the occupation of Italy by German forces. In an attempt to hold his family together and help his son survive the horrors of a Jewish Concentration Camp, Guido imagines that the Holocaust is a game and that the grand prize for winning is a tank.
