Cine Con Cultura continues this Thursday, 9/24, at 6pm with UN POETA, an acclaimed dark comedy from Colombia!

Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life. Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student named Yurlady offers a chance at redemption — if he doesn’t screw it up first.

In a performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in Simón Mesa Soto’s Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner UN POETA, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe’s idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment.

Free admission! The film will be introduced by Tatiana Bedoya, PhD candidate in the Department of Romance Studies. @cornellroms

Sponsored by Cine Con Cultura 2026, Ithaca's annual Latinx Heritage Month film festival, the Department of Romance Studies, and the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program.

The screening is also presented in collaboration with the Colombian Graduate Student Association.

Cine Con Cultura is organized by Cultura Ithaca! and Latino Civic Association of Tompkins County in collaboration with Ithaca College, Cornell Cinema, and the Department of Romance Studies at Cornell.

L’architetto Bill Blansky di Minneapolis è tornato a trovarci e ha accompagnato i nostri studenti attraverso uno sketch tour tra piazze, strade ed edifici storici di Bologna. Con penne e taccuini in mano, i ragazzi hanno imparato a cogliere dettagli che spesso sfuggono allo sguardo e hanno realizzato i loro disegni con grande entusiasmo. Chissà magari qualcuno riuscirà a completare il suo primo sketch book prima di ripartire✏️📒

Architect Bill Blansky from Minneapolis has returned to Bologna to organize an Urban Sketch Tour around the city’s historical buildings and streets with our students. Pens and sketchbooks in hand, the students learned how to pay attention to the even smallest details and tried their hand at the art of sketching. Maybe one of them will comlpete his first sketch book before leaving Italy✏️📒 #bcspbologna #italianatiu #italianatuwmadison #cornellroms #sketchtour

Join us for the New York Premiere of MADRID, EXT. (2025) and a post-screening discussion with director Juan Cavestany on Wed, March 25, at 6:30pm!

MADRID, EXT. (2025) is a film essay about the city and the passage of time, its transformations and contradictions. It is a tribute to Madrid in the form of a vast visual and sound archive of its inhabitants and locations, where commerce and wildlife, architecture and ladies, haberdasheries and poets, builders and destroyers of the city intersect.

Filmmaker Juan Cavestany will join for a post-screening conversation with Cecelia Lawless, Senior Lecturer of Spanish Language and Literature in the Department of Romance Studies.

Free admission! Sponsored by the Department of Romance Studies.

Jena Luc Godard's A WOMAN IS A WOMAN screens at Cornell Cinema tonight (3/20) at 8:30pm!

Anna Karina stars as Angela, a young dancer who wants to have a baby, but finds her boyfriend Émile (Jean-Claude Brialy) an unwilling participant. Instead, she goes to his friend Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo) for assistance, proving the lengths to which she'll go to realize her dream of motherhood.

A WOMAN IS A WOMAN is a cinephile's dream film, festooned with enough eccentric musical moments to satisfy the most avant of gardists, including a Charles Aznavour song almost arbitrarily rocketing on and off the soundtrack and Michel Legrand's pre-Umbrellas of Cherbourg score thundering into split-second breaks in dialogue, cinematic in-jokes galore, and plenty of anarchic humor.

This clever and lighthearted French New Wave film won a jury prize from the Berlin Film Festival for its "originality, youth, audacity and impertinence," while the enchanting Karina (in her first major role) was named Best Actress.

The screening will be introduced by Marie-Claire Hoferer, PhD student in the Department of Romance Studies. @cornellroms

Our annual French Film Festival is supported by Albertine Cinémathèque and presented in collaboration with the Department of Romance Studies.

Albertine Cinémathèque is part of the French For All initiative by Villa Albertine – The French Institute for Culture and Education, and Albertine Foundation, and is made possible with the support from the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC).

The film screens in a 4K digital restoration produced from the original 35mm negative and sound negative. It was scanned in 4K by Hiventy, then color-graded and digitally cleaned to remove imperfections in the original elements. The restoration was completed thanks to the support of the CNC and supervised by Studiocanal’s Sophie Boyer and Jean-Pierre Boiget.

Lo scorso venerdì il professore Benevolo ha portato i suoi studenti del corso Storia della cultura italiana del XX secolo, sezione Moda e stili, a Firenze alla scoperta dello stile italiano tra le sale del Museo della Moda di Palazzo Pitti e il Museo Salvatore Ferragamo. Gli studenti si sono immersi nella storia, nell’eleganza e nella creatività che hanno reso la moda italiana celebre nel mondo. ✨

Un ringraziamento speciale a Nicholas Svendsen (BCSP Spring 2026, Indiana University), aspirante regista e produttore cinematografico, per essersi messo a disposizione nella realizzazione di foto e video e per aver curato il montaggio di questo filmato! 🎬

Nicholas Naill (BCSP Spring 2026, University of Illinois) ha commentato: “Mi è piaciuto molto vedere le immagini delle prime sfilate nei primi anni ’50 tenute nella Sala Bianca di Palazzo Pitti.”
L’imprenditore Gian Battista Giorgini ha organizzato la prima sfilata in assoluto nel 1951, la First Italian High Fashion Show, per buyers americani nella sua Villa Toreggiani a Firenze.
