CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF NOVA! Winner of Best Actor, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Score at the 1999 Academy Awards, writer, director and star Roberto Benigni enchanted the globe with his comic drama of Jewish Italian bookshop owner (Benigni) who uses his imagination to shield his son from the realities of being interned in a Nazi concentration camp during the second world war. A breakout success at Cinema Nova, the Carlton venue became the highest grossing location for the film in Australia.

Not only achieving Oscar glory, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (LA VITA E BELLA) scored the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival as well as nine David di Donatello Awards (Italy's Academy Awards), including best film.
