Italian Superstitions—The Evil Eye (MAL'OCCHIO)

  • Braintree Community Youth Center 74 Pond Street, 1st Floor auditorium Braintree, MA, 02184 United States (map)

Sit down and enjoy the documentary “MAL'OCCHIO” with some popcorn. What happens when you realize that your family is part of a global superstition that is neither spoken about openly nor even referred to by name? Filmmaker Agata De Santis sets out on a quest to uncover the world of MAL'OCCHIO - the evil eye - where one can become physically ill by another's envious glances, where the only remedy is a phone call to the old woman down the street, and prevention involves wearing strange-looking amulets. Agata travels to Italy, New York, and to her mother's kitchen in Montreal to decide once and for all if the evil eye is real.
