In these uncertain times, we are immensely grateful to be able to count on the trust of the American public and of the institutions that have supported us for so long.<\/p>\n

This year, moreover, we are expanding our reach to include new venues at some of the most prestigious universities in the United States. These partnerships are vital for our association as they enable us to connect with the young students on university campuses. I hope these will be just the first of many screenings to come in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

Now more than ever, it is essential to come together with others to share special moments. The cinema is the perfect place for this: I hope that, in the darkness of the auditorium, you will find comfort, joy and a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the show![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”Screenings and Reservations” tab_id=”1711451113351-2-417295265376821729527194583″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”100535″]Original language \/ English subtitles
