Such a great audience yesterday at the Italian Cultural Institute for the screening of “Quando sei nato non puoi piu’ nasconderti” (Once You Are Born You Can No Longer Hide)! The conference room was crowded with people and students from Loyola University and Harold Washington College, interested both in the Italian language and in the ticklish theme of immigration. The movie, directed by Marco Tullio Giordana, made the audience laugh at the very beginning, depicting in a flimsy way the life of a young and well-to-do Italian boy ; later moved it, showing the terrible conditions in which immigrants attempt to reach Italy. This was the second movie of a series dedicated to the Italian Language Week. Two more are scheduled: “Io, l’altro” (I, the Other) by Mohsen Melliti on Nov 18, 5.30 pm and “Good Morning Aman” by Claudio Noce on Dec 15, 5.30 pm.
