Dialogue: actor David Pasquesi. 

Tuesday, December 17, 6:00 p.m. | In Antonio Bigini’s delicate feature debut co-starring David Pasquesi (Veep, ALL HAPPY FAMILIES), word has spread that Pietro, a young boy living in a small Italian village, has psychokinetic powers, and is able to move metal with his mind. The news of his ability prompts a professor (Pasquesi) to visit the boy and test his abilities, visits that explore not just Pietro’s talents, but his place in his family, his community, and the world. A tender, coming-of-age portrait of belief, and hope, THE PROPERTIES OF METALS is an effecting drama celebrating its Chicago premiere at the Film Center. Dialogue: actor David Pasquesi.
