The Picture House Hosts

The Westchester Italian Film Festival had its opening night on Friday, April 21 at The Picture House Bronxville. The audience enjoyed a dessert reception, followed by a screening of the film The Old Guitarist, starring Dominic Chianese, and Q&A with the film’s director, Pelham native Will Nunziata. Nunziata also presented The Picture House Lifetime Achievement Award to his friend and colleague, actor Dominic Chianese.

“I’m very excited that my hometown independent movie theater, The Picture House, selected my film, The Old Guitarist, to open the Westchester Italian Film Festival. I was thrilled to present the star of my film, and longtime friend, Dominic Chianese with the Westchester Italian Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. It was so wonderful to see so many friends and family from Pelham and Westchester County at the event.”

Laura deBuys, President and Executive Director of The Picture House said, “This was such an exciting celebration of Italian film and culture!  We’re deeply indebted to our sponsors, especially the Italian American Forum. We cant wait for WIFF 2024!”
