Cinema Paradiso: Special Screening
Saturday, July 25 | 7:00 PM
Phoenix Theatres Village 14 + PTX – Leesburg, VA
Few films have captured the love of cinema as beautifully as Cinema Paradiso. Winner of the Academy Award® for Best International Feature Film, Giuseppe Tornatore’s masterpiece is a timeless celebration of friendship, memory, and the profound role that movies play in bringing communities together.
Why Cinema Paradiso? Because it reminds us that cinema is more than entertainment—it preserves stories, inspires generations, and creates lasting human connections.
The Italian Cultural Society was delighted to partner with Phoenix Theatres Village 14 + PTX for this special screening, bringing together members, friends, and film lovers to celebrate one of Italy’s most beloved cinematic classics. Guests also enjoyed a special Aperol Spritz offered by the theatre, adding an authentic Italian touch to the evening.
What made this evening especially meaningful was its impact beyond the screen. Phoenix Theatres Village 14 + PTX generously donated 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales to the Italian Cultural Society of Washington, DC, directly supporting the Society’s educational and cultural programming. We are deeply grateful to Phoenix Theatres for their generosity and partnership, and to everyone who attended and helped turn a memorable night at the movies into meaningful support for the ICS community.
