“Io Capitano” – Feb 25th

Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Feb 25th at 6:35p for Io Capitano at the Kendall Square Cinema. Look for Sean wearing a nametag in the theatre lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion. In this acclaimed film which won top directing and acting prizes at the Venice Film Festival, writer-director Garrone presents a “reverse shot” of the immigration experience while unfurling an epic, cinematographically magnificent odyssey from West Africa to Italy. The story is told through the mind’s eye and experiences of two Senegalese teenagers living in Dakar who yearn for a brighter future in Europe. Yet between their dreams and reality lies a treacherous journey through a labyrinth of checkpoints, the scorched Saharan desert, a fetid North African prison and the vast waters of the Mediterranean where thousands have died packed inside vessels barely fit for passage. Note: The Red Line will be running shuttle bus replacement service this Sunday, so please factor that into your plans.

Thelonious “Monk” Ellison’s writing career has stalled because his
work isn’t deemed “Black enough.” Monk, a writer and English
professor, writes a satirical novel under a pseudonym, aiming to
