Details/Tickets

Enjoy a screening of this film about the historical figure.

Italian Director/Writer/Actor Massimiliano Finazzer Flory brings his critically-acclaimed film to Albuquerque for one screening only - the first stop on his tour of the Southwest, organized by the Italian Cultural Institute, Los Angeles to commemorate the 500th year since Leonardo da Vinci's death. Being Leonardo takes viewers inside the mind of the genius of the High Renaissance when two journalists looking for a scoop for the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death find themselves at da Vinci's final resting place where the genius himself grants them an interview. (80 mins; in Italian with English subtitles)

Finazzer Flory, who plays the definitive star role, will conduct a Q & A following the film.

The Being Leonardo film event in Albuquerque is presented by Italian Festivals of New Mexico (IFNM) and the Italian Cultural Institute, Los Angeles, and is sponsored in part by Courtyard by Marriott Albuquerque. Proceeds from the Albuquerque event will benefit the children of NDI New Mexico. Tickets: $10 in advance at www.holdmyticket.com / $12 at the door
