A Date with Italian Cinema @ The Shang


In May 2012, The Philippine Italian Association launched Un appuntamento con il Cinema Italiano (A Date with Italian Cinema) @ The Shang as part of their 50th Anniversary celebrations. Once a month an Italian film with English subtitles will be shown for free at the Shang Cineplex for the general public to enjoy.

On September 25,  the featured film is renowned auteur Marco Belocchio’s Vincere.  The film is roughly based on the books "Mussolini’s Marriage" by Marco Zeni and "Mussolini’s Secret Child" by Alfredo Pieroni, as well as the documentary "Mussolini’s Secret".  It is a compelling drama about the little known story of Benito Mussolini’s first wife. 

Screening times are at 12:30pm, 3:00pm, 5:30pm and 8:00pm at the Shang Cineplex. 

Admission is free but seats are on a first-come, first-served basis. 

So come early to experience an Italian viewing pleasure.
