Cinémonde #23: Tuesday February 28th For a Screening of “The Salt of Life” and “The Glitch”
Posted on 24. Feb, 2012 by Birdsong in Arts, Community, Events
You are cordially invited to a night of independent cinema, food, drinks, prizes, and good company Tuesday February 28th at The Roger Smith Hotel.
More info about Cinemonde here.
Purchase tickets here.
Cinémonde #23 takes us to the sun-kissed cobblestones of the Trastevere quarter of Rome for a sneak preview of the warm and witty follow-up to the 2010 sleeper hit, MID-AUGUST LUNCH (screened at Cinémonde #9). This evening will be pure Italian, from menu to wine selection to this sparkling new film from writer/director/actor Gianni Di Gregorio. With THE SALT OF LIFE, Di Gregorio has created another bittersweet comedy, playing a middle-aged retiree trying as best he can to navigate his life between a spendthrift mother, a distant wife, a daughter with her live-in slacker boyfriend, a sexy neighbor and her big dog. All our hero is looking for is a little feminine company. But despite his valiant efforts, full of gentlemanly, gracious approaches to a variety of attractive ladies, Gianni’s love life takes some unexpected and hilarious twists and turns.
Reservations are open until noon on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

Cinemonde: Wonderful World
Posted on 20. Jan, 2010 by admin in Arts, Community, Events
In December, James Knowles of the Roger Smith Hotel presented the Rogé award at the Cinémonde film event. Cinémonde is all about great drink, great food, and great film. The screening on December 14th, at the School of Visual Arts Theater (on 23rd Street, bet. 8th & 9th Aves, in NYC) featured WONDERFUL WORLD, directed by Josh Goldin, starring Matthew Broderick, Sannaa Lathan and Michael K. Williams.
It was a smashing event. Not only did we have the pleasure of watching two fantastic films but we were able to engage some of the people who make this soiree possible. One such person was the director of the School of Visual Arts Theater, Gene Stavis.
James Knowles speaks with Chef Nata Traub about her childhood summers in France, and her love of Mediterranean flavors. Nata Traub has amazed and excited Cinémonde’s guests with her delightful dishes and exquisite taste.
Last but certainly not least we spoke with the director, Josh Goldin. Lets go Behind the scenes and check it out.
