Dante Fall 2024 FILM Series: Portraits of Community/*Ritratti di comunitàWith the patronage of the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco* This season's films celebrate the community as star. These light-hearted films feature ensemble casts navigating the joys and challenges of living on common ground. From the exuberant energy of village celebrations to the heartwarming bond between truffle hunters and their dogs, and solidarity forged through adversity, these stories remind us of the profound impact of shared experiences. *The November film is:  Beate*. Dir. Samad Zarmandili, 2018. (95 min) A light-hearted romp also engaged with deeper social issues, *Beate* \[Blessed\] shows how different walks of life can come together and unite against a common enemy. After receiving notification via group text that their jobs are being outsourced, the hardworking female employees of a garment factory in Veneto decide to “borrow” some of the factory’s equipment to produce their own line of lingerie. Led by factory forewoman Armida (Donatella Finocchiaro), the workers enlist the help of nuns in a nearby convent, themselves in the crosshairs of a greedy developer who wants to turn it into a resort, devising a plan for both the nuns and factory workers to work together to save the convent and grow the new lingerie business. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ All films in Italian with English subtitles.
