Essential Art House Series of International Classics

Amherst Cinema
Tickets now available!

The films from Europe and Asia that were unveiled to curious American eyes had an incalculable effect on our movies. At the moment the studio system was dissolving and lighter equipment was making genuinely independent filmmaking a reality, artists like Roberto Rossellini and Akira Kurosawa were crafting cinematic art and inspiring a new generation of future directors and audiences in the process. The films in the series are from what is now considered the Golden Age of art cinema. They were the building blocks of a new American film culture, and they changed the way movies were seen, the way they were discussed, and certainly the way they were made.

Now at Amherst Cinema these films can been seen -- many in glorious, new 35mm prints -- with eminent film scholars present at one of each film's screenings.
