Sunday February 17 – Artemisia
(Feature Film, 95 minutes) The 17th century is no place for a budding female artist, even for Artemisia Gentileschi (Valentina Cervi), the teenage daughter of one of the most revered Italian painters. Barred from fully practicing her art, she finds a tutor – and a lover – in painter Agostino Tassi (Miki Manojlovic), who was later tried for her rape. Based on actual events, the film received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
