Catch a great new Italian film and enjoy a reduced price meal

afterwards … that’s what’s on offer this month thanks to an exciting

new initiative from the Italian Consulate and Cultural Institute which sees

the screening of an Italian film each month at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse and

Glasgow’s GFT cinemas. Come to the cinema, enjoy the film (subtitles in English)

and then enjoy a 20 per cent reduction on your food bill at participating

restaurants.

This first film, Sangue Vivo by Edoardo Winspeare, is shown In Glasgow at 6.45

on Tuesday October 14 and in Edinburgh at 6: 15pm on Monday

October 20.

Sangue Vivo centres on two brothers, Pino, 50, and Donato, 30,

brought up as traditional musicians playing La Pizzica tambourine

folk music in the Southern Italian region of Puglia.

Their relationship is strained after the death of their father in an accident for

which Pino feels guilty and for which Donato carries the most self-destructive consequences: he no longer plays his instrument, preferring to hang around

local criminals and let his brother support him.
