Films about cinema, recent documentaries and classics brought back to live on the big screen in their restored versions. Among the latter, the three short films shot by a young Stanley Kubrick in the early 1950s and four films by Lionel Rogosin, on the centenary of his birth, an exponent of the most explicitly socially-analytical and politically-critical offshoot of New American Cinema.

There is no shortage of extraordinary portraits of masters of cinema (Powell&Pressburger, Lynch, Bellocchio, Demy and the “rebels” Léaud, Paradžanov and Landrián, Cuba’s first black director) and its stars (the divine Marlene and the legendary Henry Fonda, a reflection of America itself). There are also free and experimental works that explore the variegated world of cinephilia (such as Film Is Dead. Long Live Film! or the autobiographical Celluloid Underground), creatively repurpose archival material (Where Is Pessoa?), and contemplate the mystifying power of images, such as Felice Farina’s posthumous work Falso storico.
