This Saturday evening, come see the final film of this season's festival at Oldcastle Theatre on Main St. in Bennington: The Garden of the Finzi-Continis. Viewing is free; donations are appreciated. This is a 1970 Italian film with subtitles. In the late 1930s, with Mussolini's fascism on the rise, coupled with growing anti-Semitism, a group of young friends meet to play tennis and otherwise socialize. Banned from most tennis clubs, they go to play at the grand, walled garden of the Finzi-Continis, a well-to-do, intellectual and cultured Jewish family. Starring Lino Capolicchio, Dominique Sanda, and Helmut Berger, and directed by Vittorio de Sica. Academy and Golden Bear winner. Discussion facilitator: Sharon Yorke.
