Southampton - "Days and Clouds," an Italian film nominated for 15 and winner of two David di Donatello Awards in 2008, will screen Friday, October 23, at 7:30 p.m., as the second in the Parrish Art Museum's fall film series "New Global Cinema: When Things Go Wrong."

Directed by Silvio Soldini, "Days and Clouds" concerns Elsa and Michele, a well-to-do, sophisticated couple, and their daughter Alice. Michele has been successful enough for Elsa to leave her job and fulfill an old dream of studying art history. After she graduates, however, Michele confesses that he was fired by the company he founded years ago and hasn't worked in two months. Elsa faces the crisis, but Michele, exhausted by an unsuccessful job hunt, lets himself go, alternating between vivacity and apathy. The financial stress takes a devastating toll on their relationship with each other and with Alice.

The David di Donatello Awards are Italy's equivalent of Hollywood's Oscars. Margherita Buy won the Best Actress Award and Alba Rohrwacher garnered the Best Supporting Actress Award for their work in "Days and Clouds," which also stars Antonio Albanese. The film was an official selection of the Toronto, London, Munich, Seattle, and Rome film festivals, among others.

Selected by guest curator John K. Turnbull, the fall film series explores the ways people confront - or avoid - crises and upheavals in their lives. Admission is $5 for Parrish members, $7 for non-members. The series concludes October 30 with the Russian film "The Return."

The Museum's programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, at state agency.
