Widely regarded as one of cinema’s finest achievements, Bicycle Thieves is an Academy Award winner directed by Vittorio De Sica that helped define its era. Set in postwar Rome during hard times, it follows a man on the first day of a new job that could lift his struggling family, only to have the bicycle he relies on for work stolen. With his young son beside him, he sets out to find the culprit. Spare in design yet deep in human understanding, this touchstone of Italian neorealism is noted for emotional clarity, social rectitude, and unflinching honesty.

DragonCon’s annual X-Men Universe photo shoot brings together cosplayers at Hilton Steps E for a collaborative session celebrating every corner of the mutant world. All versions are welcome, and multiple portrayals of the same character are perfectly fine. Costumes are embraced no matter how they were sourced, whether handcrafted, commissioned, or purchased. Representations from comic continuities like 616 and Ultimate, screen adaptations and animated series, genderbent and crossplay interpretations, and steampunk takes are all in scope. Parody mashups that combine different licenses are not included, and original interpretations should still read clearly as the intended character. Direction is by Myron Abernathy, also known as Smoove Cosplaya, with photography led by Dr. LAW’s Photolab. Deadpool cosplayers are part of the welcome mix, though a small showing is requested so the gathering stays balanced. Those looking for a dedicated Deadpool event can find one through the community group focused on that character.
