In his post on July 12, Pietro announced the launch of the ICBIE Cineforum, which will be held every Saturday at 6PM, from July 21 to September 29. As you can see from the poster below, a rich variety of offerings will be provided at no cost for ICBIE members, while other students will pay 1 Brazilian real (US 50 cents) and adults will be charged 2 reals. Each projection will be preceded by a presentation by Pietro Gallina. For our readers in Rome, it is important to note that this film forum is made possible by the fancy video projector that the American Overseas School of Rome donated last Christmas.
Remember, too, that there are no movie theaters in all the Cidade Baixa (the lower quarters of Salvador, including Ribeira) and the residents can hardly afford paying for the bus rides into the city center, let alone the admission to the city’s movie houses.
