7:00 PM - Bicycle Thieves On Nitrate
About The Film:
In Italian with English subtitles.
Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made, the Academy Award–winning Bicycle Thieves, directed by Vittorio De Sica, defined an era in cinema. In poverty-stricken postwar Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for his work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight, it embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social rectitude, and brutal honesty.
Released In: 1948
90 Minutes
Directed By: Vittorio De Sica

7:00 PM - Spellbound On Nitrate
About The Film:
When bespectacled psychiatrist Ingrid Bergman discovers Gregory Peck is not the famous visiting shrink Dr. Edwardes but a traumatized amnesiac, she suddenly realizes she’s in love with him. But is Peck a victim of circumstance or the missing doctor’s killer? Director Alfred Hitchcock tackles Freudian territory as well as repressed memories (ably abetted by Surrealist Salvador Dali, who designed the startling dream sequence) and seamlessly blends the elements into a romantic and suspenseful spellbinder.
Released In: 1945
111 Minutes
