The MYLF youngsters, now reaching their third year of collaboration with the National Cinema Museum, are inaugurating the Raison d'ê3 showcase with New York Stories.

For this third season, the fruitful collaboration between the MYLF - Movies You'll Like Festival group of university students and the National Cinema Museum in organising meetings and special events, is giving birth to a showcase dedicated to the number 3 called Raison d'ê3. A trilogy is the most widespread form of linking artworks, be they books, films or anything else. Moreover, the number 3 is an important esoteric number, often connected with the concepts of end, new beginnings and synthesis.

In a third chapter, one finds the sum of the previous ones. They are quoted, praised and retraced, a glance goes back to the past, but looking at the future. MYLF wishes to be all of this, this year: a synthesis of its three previous years together, the end of a project, but also, and maybe especially, a new beginning.

The first screening for this new, appealing season, is New York Stories, a film composed by three episodes entrusted to as many famous filmmakers: Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen. Admission 4.00 euro.
