Packed house, with over 200 people, for the NJ premiere of the mesmerizing film Sicilian Ghost Story by Antonio Piazza and Fabio Grassadonia, followed by an engaging Q&A with co-director Piazza about the personal and political genesis of the film: https://www.lavocedinewyork.com/en/arts/2018/12/06/great-success-for-the-nj-premiere-of-sicilian-ghost-story/
Co-presented by the Inserra Chair (Teresa Fiore) and Film Institute (Susan Skoog) at Montclair State U, with the support of the Italian Consulate, the event reached a large number of students of Italian and Filmmaking (also during an intimate Meet and Greet with the director, before the film) as well as many people from the off-campus community.
