On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Italo Svevo's birth, a number of films based on the work or on the life of the Triestine writer will be shown at Rewley House during Hilary Term 2012.

This will be a rare opportunity to see works that are very seldom available to the general public. The projections will take place in the Lecture Theatre of Rewley House (Wellington Square), every Wednesday starting at 7.30pm, from 18th January to 7th March, as follows:
