Angela (2002) Directed by Roberta Torre Wednesday - April 17 - 7:00 p.m. Angela is a beautiful, young Sicilian woman married to a drug and jewel dealing mobster. Unlike most mob-wives, she participates in her husband’s business. Angela’s husband assigns one of the ‘gang’ to be her escort, which leads to a mutual attraction. She loves her husband but his position forces him to constantly deny his own true feelings – pushing Angela into a passionate and tormented affair. She eventually sacrifices everything for love…and is punished for it. Angela is the story of a woman and her life in the solitude of a world made of laws written by men. (35mm. 95 min. Not Rated.) To Die for Tano (Tano da Morire) (1997) Directed by Roberta Torre Thursday - April 18 - 7:00 p.m. A groundbreaking movie musical about the Sicilian Mafia, To Die For Tano tells the true story of Tano Guarrasi, a Mafia man of honor who was gunned down in his butcher shop during the bloody 1988 Mafia war. During his life, his terrible jealousy doomed his 4 sisters to spinsterhood. After his death, Tano’s sisters were liberated to pursue their dreams but his spirit continued to haunt them. Tano’s story is told by his various friends and family through song, dance and recollections. The soundtrack is by famed Neapolitan composer Nino D’Angelo. (35mm. 75 min.
