 Last fall four film students came to Pittsburgh from L’Aquila, Italy, where their college was destroyed by an earthquake.  They began work on a remarkable documentary about Italian-Americans in Pittsburgh, titled “Familiar and Strange”.  Bloomfield is very prominent in the film.

This fall two of the filmmakers returned to complete the film.  Happily, it was chosen as one of the opening night films of the 29th Three Rivers Film Festival, one starting, November 5.

There’s a party afterwards, included in the $15 admission. It will be a very entertaining evening, of particular interest to generations of Italians here in Bloomfield.  The film is in Italian with English subtitles.
