The author cinema review at Cinema Teatro Il Piccolo in Jesi
About Friday at Il Piccolo
An author cinema review in the heart of Jesi
Venerdì al Piccolo is the film review that has accompanied cinema enthusiasts in Jesi, in the Marche region, for years. Organized by the social promotion association Res Humanae, the review transforms Cinema Teatro Il Piccolo, at Via San Giuseppe 27, into a meeting point every Friday evening for the public from the Municipality of Jesi and the entire Vallesina area, in the province of Ancona.
Author cinema takes center stage
The selection focuses on Italian and international author cinema: titles that have generated buzz at major festivals, from the Venice Film Festival to the Cannes Film Festival, and which often don't find space in commercial programming. The review has thus become a valuable opportunity to discover works by established and emerging directors, from Italian cinema to European and world cinema, in their original version or dubbed.
A weekly event
Screenings are held every Friday evening at 9:15 PM. The review is divided into two cycles: a winter edition, which begins in January, and a spring edition that continues until May. The admission ticket has a modest cost, designed to encourage the widest possible participation and to maintain the bond between the city and the cinema.
A story of passion
Active since 2017, the Venerdì al Piccolo review is now a cultural reference point for Jesi and Vallesina: over the years it has presented over two hundred screenings and attracted more than twelve thousand spectators. A result that testifies to the vitality of a project born from a love for cinema and the desire to cultivate a community of attentive and curious viewers, capable of engaging with the language of contemporary author cinema.
