Il Cinema Ritrovato has been the first festival in the world to put exclusively at the centre of its activity the work that the cinémathèques and restoration laboratories are doing to save and promote the memory of film patrimony. The research on film history and viewing pleasure have always been the centre of our work. Cultural diversity is the very substance of our programming that works like a kaleidoscope. We want to further strengthen the «confidence pact» with our most loyal cinephile audience, the one that comes from Bologna and 71 countries of the world, who appreciates the true value of the pleasure of the highest quality projection. We also want to improve communication towards the young cinephile public through continuing education to the history of cinema in all its forms. Il Cinema Ritrovato festival is also the exhibition place of the yearly work of Cineteca di Bologna and L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory that allows us, in close collaboration with the best institutions in the world and the leading experts working on heritage, to renew every year the way we screen rare and valuable films that are waiting to return to the screen. To synthesize, Il Cinema Ritrovato is considered by a large community of expert people as the “Cinephiles’ Paradise”.The festival increases the number and quality of its collaborations to continue being a friendly meeting place (far away from red carpets) where it is still possible to discuss activities at the heart of film archives, see collectively beautiful big screen movies, organize international retrospectives and update on the latest technological developments. Together with the 441 films selected with the highest care, more than sixty guests have been invited. Starting from one of the most legendary director on earth: Francis Ford Coppola. His lecture at Teatro Manzoni will remain in our memories as one of the very best, most of all for his amazing generosity towards the students questions. The European première on Piazza Maggiore of Apocalypse Now – Final Cut was attended by the biggest crowd of the week. More and more directors are participating with their restored films and for the pleasure to (re)discover the long 7th Art History: Jane Campion, Nicolas Winding Refn, Bertrand Tavernier, Cecilia Mangini, James Thierrée (Chaplin’s nephew), the Korean Kim Soo-yong, the actress Alexandra Stewart, the Malian Souleymane Cissé, together with the directors of most of the selected documentaries.For the second year, we have used the Cantiere Modernissimo that Cineteca di Bologna is restoring. It is a beautiful underground theatre in the heart of the town, nearby Piazza Maggiore, that we hope to reopen for the 2021 edition. |
