Please join the Center for Architecture and hosts John DeFazio, AIA (Architect & Associate Professor @ Drexel University) and Nick Groch, Assoc. AIA, for an entertaining evening of classic film related to architecture. This ongoing, monthly series shows films that explore ideas and themes on architecture and architects, though not necessarily directly. Discussion is encouraged.

This month's film will be Antonioni's "L'Avventura" (1960).

"The story begins as two young women, Anna (Lea Massari) and Claudia (Monica Vitti), meet for a yacht trip. After picking up Anna's lover Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti), the three join two wealthy couples from Rome on the boat and visit Lisca Bianca, an almost unpopulated volcanic island off the coast of Sicily, where Anna shows her boredom and unhappiness with the sometimes childish Sandro. After napping on the rocks, they awaken to find that Anna has gone without a trace. Annoyed at first, then worried, they search for her, helped by Anna's diplomat father who soon comes to the island with a police ship and helicopter."
