Please join us for a special introduction by Antonio Iannotta, Artistic Director of the San Diego Italian Film Festival, before the 4:30 PM showing on Saturday, May 2.
Synopsis: From award-winning filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi comes Pompei: Below the Clouds, a striking portrait of life in Naples, a city living in the shadow of Vesuvius. Beneath the quiet threat of eruption, people go about their days: archaeologists unearth the past, children learn as the earth hums, firefighters wait for the next call. The result is a portrait at once local and universal: a reflection on humanity’s capacity to live, love, and rebuild in the shadow of the unimaginable.
