Bealtaine Film: "Cinema Paradiso"

This year the theme of the Bealtaine Festival continues to be Lust for Life, based on Iggy

Pop’s iconic punk-era song celebrating life’s dreams and ambitions. As part of this year's celebrations, we will be screening Cinema Paradiso ✨ Tickets are FREE, but booking is recommended.

Cinema Paradiso is a winner of awards across the world, including: the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar; 5 BAFTA Awards including Best Actor, Original Screenplay and Score; the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival; and many more.

Giuseppe Tornatore's loving homage to the cinema tells the story of Salvatore, a successful

film director, returning home for the funeral of Alfredo, his old friend who was the projectionist at the local cinema throughout his childhood. Soon, memories of his first love

affair with the beautiful Elena and all the highs and lows that shaped his life come flooding

back, as Salvatore reconnects with the community he left 30 years earlier.

A CELEBRATION OF YOUTH, FRIENDSHIP, AND THE EVERLASTING MAGIC OF THE MOVIES!

We would like to thank Arrow Video for supporting the screenings of Cinema Paradiso.
