Together with WRCJ’s film score focused radio program “The Soundtrack” the Senate Theater invites you to a special screening of Cinema Paradiso! To celebrate the magic of the movies (and The Soundtrack’s one year anniversary) we’re bringing this international art house sensation and its finely tuned romantic score to the big screen. You’ll be swept away by the ecstatic synthesis of moving pictures and moving melody by Italian master Ennio Morricone and his son Andrea Morricone. 

Winner of the Grand Prix du Jury at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival and the 1989 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Cinema Paradiso is a poignant, tearjerking, ecstatically life-affirming trip through melancholy, joy, art and longing!  

This coming-of-age classic explores the power of cinema and nostalgia, told in vivid flashback through the eyes of a film director as he recollects the formative events of his childhood. Cinema Paradiso asks how the pull of a home left behind, the residue of youthful yearning for more, and the artist’s drive to create can continuously shape the understanding of oneself. Can we find truth through expression and reflection, through mutable memory, through the metamorphic potential of cinema—its extraordinary synthesis of sound and vision? 



A message from our partner:

This event celebrates the first anniversary of The Soundtrack, and the community that has grown around it. The show was created to explore the power of film music: the way a melody can bring us back to a place, a person, or a moment in our lives. With this screening of Cinema Paradiso, we’re stepping beyond radio to experience that connection together, in a theater, the way film was meant to be seen and heard.

Cinema Paradiso, with its unforgettable score by Ennio Morricone, is ultimately a story about memory, mentorship, and the lifelong impact of cinema. It reflects the heart of what The Soundtrack is about: the relationship between music and storytelling, and the people who carry those stories forward.

This evening is an opportunity to bring listeners, film lovers, and our broader community into the same room, not just to watch a film, but to share in the experience of it. Following the screening, we’ll host a live Q&amp;A with the audience to talk about The Soundtrack, Cinema Paradiso, and The Senate Theater.

I’m especially grateful to partner with The Senate Theater, a historic space that embodies the enduring magic of film and music. Together, we’re celebrating not just an anniversary, but the shared experience that makes public radio, and cinema, so meaningful.
