Italian Night at the Movies film series raises funds for youth scholarships
The Sons and Daughters of Italy Key West Lodge #2436 has teamed up with the Tropic Cinema to present, “Italian Night at the Movies” to support their 2025 scholarship fund for area High School seniors of Italian descent. Occurring once a month through June, next up in the series is “Nine,” on Wednesday, January 1.

Released in 2009 and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson, and Fergie, the musical romance is in Italian with English subtitles and pays homage to Frederico Fellini. Arrogant, self-centered movie director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) finds himself struggling to find meaning, purpose, and a script for his latest movie endeavor. With only a week left before shooting begins, he desperately searches for answers and inspiration from his wife, his mistress, his muse, and his mother. As his chaotic profession steadily destroys his personal life, Guido must find a balance between creating art and succumbing to its obsessive demands.

Doors open at 5:30; movie starts at 6:15 pm and the evening includes complimentary pizza for ticket holders from Duetto Pizza and Gelato. The evening will also include a chance drawing for a beautiful Italian platter and two tickets for admission to another Italian movie in the series.

Tickets are $20 per person and are available online at TropicCinema.com or day of at the Tropic Cinema, 416 Eaton St.
