Subject: Screening of the film "Sunset Boulevard" Tonight at 6:30 pm

Dear members of the ICTP community,

Tonight we will have the screening of the film
SUNSET BOULEVARD. It is a 1950 American black comedy/drama film directed
and co-written by Billy Wilder. It was named after the boulevard that runs
through Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, California.

The film stars William Holden as Joe Gillis, an unsuccessful screenwriter,
and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a faded silent film star who draws
him into her fantasy world where she dreams of making a triumphant return
to the screen, with Erich von Stroheim as Max Von Mayerling, her devoted
servant. Praised by many critics when first released, Sunset Boulevard was
nominated for eleven Academy Awards (including nominations in all four
acting categories) and won three. It is widely accepted as a classic,
often cited as one of the greatest films of American cinema. Deemed
"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the U.S.
Library of Congress in 1989, Sunset Boulevard was included in the first
group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

The screening will take place as usual at the Budinich lecture hall at
6:30 pm.

with kindest regards,

The ICTP cineclub
