Cari amici,
buon Thanksgiving e buon proseguimento del mese di ottobre per il quale vi segnaliamo una carrellata di eventi on line e un paio in presenza presso Carleton University, di cui uno in concomitanza con la ‘Settimana della Lingua italiana nel mondo’ che quest’anno e` dedicata particolarmente ai giovani.
Tuesday October 11 – Thursday October 13 – “Where Life Begins” – Online Film Screening
The Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto is pleased to co-present with the Toronto Jewish Film Foundation the Canadian premiere of Where Life Begins.
A beautifully-rendered and sensitive love story set in Italy during the holiday of Sukkot. An ultra-orthodox Jewish family from Aix-les-Bains in France comes to a farm in Calabria for a brief stay every year to carry out a sacred mission: harvesting citrons. Here, the farm owner Elio, played by Riccardo Scamarcio, connects with Esther, the rebellious rabbi’s daughter. At age 26, she is under much family pressure to marry. Through their time together, Esther discovers her own path, and Elio finds the inner peace he had lost for a long time. An impressive directorial debut by French film star Stéphane Freiss (Call My Agent).

In his presentation Prof. D’Achille will provide a quick historical overview of the Italian language spoken by young people focusing also on the definition of “young”. He will frame the language spoken by young Italians as a variant of contemporary Italian.
