It is my favourite film too. It was filmed in the real village of Palazzo Adriano in Sicily. So we are both in Korea and we both love that film? It's amazing how popular it is here. Have you seen "Amarcord"? If you like Il Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, you will like that too.

There is a travel outfit called "Think Sicily" that will help you "experience" the movie by living in Palazzo Adriano for a week...
Title: Cinema Paradiso (1989), directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. Location: Sicily. Synopsis: A famous film director returns to his home town and remembers Alfredo, the projectionist who inspired his passion for film at the Cinema Paradiso, and his lost love, Elena. In reality it was filmed in the village of Palazzo Adriano, which doubles as the fictional village of Giancaldo, the perfect setting for wistful walks. Stay in the nearby Abbazia di Santa Maria del Bosco, a 13th-century Benedictine abbey on the edge of an oak wood in the Sicani hills. It sleeps 10 and has high, vaulted corridors, rooms converted from monks' cells and a chapel. Starring: ThinkSicily (020 7377 8518; www.thinksicily.com). Running time: A week. Budget: From £3,916 for 10 people. Flights to Palermo cost from £24 with Ryanair (0871 246 0000; www.ryanair.com). Certificate: U. Suitable for any age. Take lots of friends to avoid sorrowful nostalgia for your lost youth.

Hi! I don't know that film (sorry), but you are welcome to
my page, where I have some pics of Cefalu. It is a very pretty town, enjoyed it there! If it was said in the film, that it is playing in Cefalu then I am curious how they 'copied' the big Rocca and the dome... Christian.
