at the National Gallery of Art
September 29 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Italian master filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni (1912–2007), arguably the most influential director of the postwar era. The National Gallery of Art joins the Italian Cultural Institute, Washington, in a retrospective of his most distinguished works. The early Italian films, including several shorts and documentaries—loaned through the courtesy of Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia–Cineteca Nazionale—are screened at the National Gallery during August and early September, while the English-language classics are shown at the AFI Silver Theatre in September.
