Dandelions

Italian American Museum

A Q&amp;A with the filmmaker will follow the screening. About the film: Dandelions is a 12-minute film centered on the filmmaker's father, who since the 1940s has marked each spring by foraging wild dandelion greens in their hometown of Geneva, NY, and preparing them as a seasonal salad - an Italian-American ritual rooted in the Depression era that has grown increasingly rare. Last year, while home between larger projects, Keaton Ventura documented one of these expeditions. The film reflects a vanishing food tradition, the evolving relationship between father and son, and the ways memory and inheritance shape us over time.Ticket price includes admission to the Museum's current exhibitions, "Totò and his Naples: An exhibition celebrating Italy's most prolific comedic actor in celebration of the 2,500th Anniversary of the founding of the city of Naples", "Sicilian Theater in Little Italy: The Return of the Manteo Puppets" and "Goodnight, Maria: A Tribute to all the women who worked tirelessly in the garment industry to live the American dream".
