A Tribute to Dino De Laurentiis

Admission is free. Reservations required. RSVP beginning Friday, March 9, at 9 a.m. at http://cinema.usc.edu.

Hollywood icon and international legend Dino De Laurentiis was one of the most prolific and respected producers in film history when he passed away in 2010 at the age of 91. From his early neorealist masterpieces, Bitter Rice and Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria and La Strada, for which he received an Academy Award, to big-budget spectaculars like Barbarella, King Kong, Dune and Conan the Barbarian, to his recent reinvention of the Hannibal Lecter franchise, De Laurentiis’s career spanned 73 years in the film industry. With the support and guidance of the De Laurentiis family, we will pay homage to the exceptional variety and longevity that marked his career with screenings of his films and discussions featuring his friends, family, scholars and colleagues.

Films that will be screened include Bitter Rice (Riso Amaro, 1949), The Great War (La Grande Guerra, 1959), Barbarella (1968), Serpico (1973), Death Wish (1974), Three Days of the Condor (1975), King Kong (1976), Conan the Barbarian (1982), Manhunter (1986), Blue Velvet (1986), Army of Darkness (1992) and Hannibal (2001). Additional screenings will take place in the weeks prior to the event. (1986),
