Help Us Spread the Word
The Association is getting a lot of attention lately and this makes us so happy! I wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU for becoming members, taking our classes, telling your friends and family members about us, becoming volunteers and coming to our events.
If you have been hanging around the Association you may have noticed a few things about the way we do things which we are really proud of.
1. We are a non-profit organization which is completely run by VOLUNTEERS (Even I, your dear Director, am a volunteer). We pay our teachers for the hours they (or I) teach. All of our teachers make the same amount of money per hour because we only hire the BEST TEACHERS. Our teachers are also volunteers.
2. We are serious about TRANSPARENCY. We publish our prices on-line. We give a 5% discount if you pay by bank transfer. We declare every cent that enters the Association.
3. Our TEACHERS ARE PROFESSIONALS with their own tax numbers. We do not compete, we COLLABORATE. We develop course plans together and co-teach for the joy of sharing our ideas and working together.
3. We do not pay for advertising. Most of our advertising is word of mouth or thanks to our events that are open to the public, our members, and the quality of our courses. We occasionally put a small ad in the Piccolo when we receive an outside contribution to do that (Thank you, donors!)
The Association is a fun place to be because we all (volunteers, members, future members) CHOOSE to be there. It is like a second home to many of us (to the dismay of our spouses!), so we treat it that way.
If you haven't been to the New Association, stop in and take a tour! We can't wait to see you. Thanks again for spreading the word about us and getting involved!

SCI-FI Contacts Film Series: From Text to Screen
SCI-FI Contacts Film Series- Science Fiction from Text to Screen at Associazione Italo Americana FVG / American Corner Trieste. Save the dates Tuesdays and Thursdays from September 24th until October 15th starting at 8 pm. Original Version, Open to the Public
SCI-FI
Contacts:Science
fiction from text to screen
The series features five films and
five episodes from two TV series, from the Fifties to Seventies. The title
refers to the contact between the two different media - literature and cinema,
between the self and others in each of the stories, humans and other forms
of life or intelligence - a classical science fiction theme, which is present
in many of the selected movies. The series intends to show how broad the range
of possibilities given by the science fiction thematic repertoire is: the genre
can be used as a vehicle of critical analysis, thrilling and fascinating. Giulia Iannuzzi, graduate student, will introduce us to each film and give us some literary background. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Projections in original version.
1) 24 September - Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
directed by Don Siegel, 1956, USA, 80 min.
Adaptation of Jack Finney's The
Body Snatchers (novel 1955). Starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter.
Screenplay by Daniel Mainwaring.
Alien invaders in a small town in
California replace human beings with duplicates that appear physically
identical but are devoid of any real emotion. A sci-fi classic, which is famous
also for the various critical interpretations which have been given, often with
a political allegory: the paranoid climate in the film has been lead back to
the McCarthyist fear of communism or to the fear of losing personal identity
connected to every over-controlling ideology or system.
2) 26 September - The Incredible Shrinking Man,
directed by Jack Arnold, 1957, USA, 81 min.
Adaptation of Richard Matheson's The
Shrinking Man (novel, 1956). Starring Grant Williams and Randy Stuart,
screenplay by Richard Matheson.
During a vacation on a boat, Scott
Carey gets in touch with a strange cloud and the next day he starts shrinking.
When he discovers the strange phenomenon a few weeks later, there's nothing
doctors are able to do. The process goes dramatically on, but the end reserves
surprises. A masterpiece by Jack Arnold, which was shot on a closed set, to
keep secret the special effects techniques employed.
3) 1 October - The Twilight Zone, TV
series (first series: 1959-1964), created by Rod Serling, USA.
Series 1, episode 8, Time Enough
at Last, adaptation of the short story by Lyn Venable (Marilyn Venable), (If:
Worlds of Science Fiction, January 1953), 25 min.
Henry Bemis is an avid bookworm, but
his work at a bank and his wife keep him from having the time he would like to
spend reading. When he survives a nuclear catastrophe and he is finally alone
and free to read as much as he likes, but...
Series 1, episode 25, People Are
Alike All Over, based on Paul W. Fairman's Brothers Beyond the Void
(Fantastic Adventures, March 1952), 25 min.
Two astronauts are headed to Mars.
One dies in the impact while landing. The other receives an enthusiastic
welcome by a civilization very similar to the human's. Soon he discovers than

Trek original series (1965), has a similar plot.

Danieli, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart; screenplay by Furio M. Monetti, Ubaldo Ragona,
William Leicester, Richard Matheson (as Logan Swanson).
The first adaptation of Matheson's I
Am Legend is also a milestone for many contemporary fantastic sub-genres.
The post-apocalyptic setting in which the humans are infected by an unknown
virus, which transforms them into vampires, has has had great success also in
film remakes.. Filmed in a striking Rome, starring the great Vincent Price.
5) 8 October - Star Trek, TV series (first
series 1966–1969), created by Gene Roddenberry, USA.
- Series 1, episode 4, The Naked
Time (50 min.): the episode has been adapted in a short story by the writer
James Blish, in the first novelisation of the series, simply titled Star
Trek (1967).
While orbiting the planet Psi 2000,

Adaptation of Ira Levin's The
Stepford Wives (novel, 1972). Starring Katharine Ross, Paula Prentiss,
Peter Masterson, Nanette Newman, Tina Louise; screenplay by William Goldman.
Joanna Eberhart moves with her
husband Walter and two children from New York City to the idyllic Connecticut
suburb of Stepford. Here she is struck by the fact that the women are all
good-looking and are obsessed with housework, but have few intellectual
interests, while the men all belong to a somehow mysterious Stepford Men's
Association. She starts to inquire with Bobbie Markowe, another newcomer. The
reality Joanna will find shows a nightmarish use of technology. The movie is a
great example of sci-fi engaged on gender and political themes.
7) 15 October - The Fury, directed by Brian
De Palma, 1978, USA, 118 min.
Adaptation of John Lee Farris' Fury
(novel, 1976). Starring Kirk Douglas, John Cassavetes, Carrie Snodgress, Amy Irving,
Charles Durning and Andrew Stevens; screenplay by John Lee Farris.
Both science fiction and thriller,
The Fury is a gripping example of the classical psychic powers theme. The
young protagonists are dragged into an obscure research project about the weapon
potential of supernatural powers.
