From award-winning filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi comes Pompei: Below the Clouds, a striking portrait of life in Naples, a city living in the shadow of Vesuvius.

Beneath the quiet threat of eruption, people go about their days: archaeologists unearth the past, children learn as the earth hums, firefighters wait for the next call. The result is a portrait at once local and universal: a reflection on humanity’s capacity to live, love, and rebuild in the shadow of the unimaginable.

In Italian, with English subtitles

Please stay after the screening on opening night, Friday 4/10, for a special post-film discussion about Naples and Southern Italy with Patrizia LaTrecchia, Ph.D., associate professor and head of Italian Studies at USF and Founding Director of the Environmental Humanities Initiative!

This screening is held in the Taylor Screening Room. At ticket purchase, you will be asked to select your reserved seat(s). Seating is limited; it is recommended to purchase tickets ahead of time.
