Cinema Lessons and Restoration Meetings from the 2021 edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato are now available online for free on the Youtube Channel of Cineteca di Bologna.

This year conversations were a mirror of the festival’s great variety and richness. Jean-Pierre Berthomé revealed how the set the Babylonian episode of Intolerance was built; legendary directors Girish Kasaravalli and Kumar Shahani guided us through the meanders of Parallel Cinema; with Sylvie Pras and Massoumeh Lahidji we explored the exhibit devoted to Abbas Kiarostami. We follower Ehsan Khoshbakht through George Stevens’ cinema and – on the centenary of her birth – Gianfranco Angelucci through Giulietta Masina’s.

Whereas some of the artists attending – Amos Gitai, Paul Haggis, Brigitte and Marian Lacombe, Isabella Rossellini, Alice Rohrwacher – shared their love for cinema and for their own work with us, others focused on others, like Volker Schlöndorff on Romy Schneider. Marco Tullio Giordana told us all about his two passions: cinema and vintage cars, while conversations with Thierry Frémaux and Marta Donzelli reflected on the role of film institutions and organisations in the near future.
