Ieri sera, in scena le magiche atmosfere delle proiezioni con lampada a carbone: sonorizzazione dal vivo di Changing Hues (film pubblicitario elaborato in forma narrativa in cui una ragazza che non può permettersi un vestito nuovo tinge quello vecchio con la tintura Twink, GB/1922) e Cainà ovvero l'isola e il continente di Gennaro Righelli (Italia/1922), protagonista la fuggiasca Cainà con Maria Jacobini. Sonorizzazione di Laura Agnusdei (sax tenore ed elettronica), Tullia Benedicta (elettronica), Stefano Pilia (chitarra ed elettronica) e Cecilia Stacchiotti (tastiere ed elettronica).

Today is a pretty hot day at Il Cinema Ritrovato, and it does not depend on the weather! Tonight at 10.15 PM at the Europa Cinema we'll watch the restoration of Deep Throat (USA/1972), a film that, despite its infamous production history, had a huge cultural impact when it was first released. Erotism and pornography have always been part of the cinema scene. This year at the festival, we can find many different (and more sophisticated) examples of it.

Il direttore del Festival di Cannes ha discusso con il direttore della Cineteca di Bologna Gian Luca Farinelli su come reinventare l’esperienza cinematografica in sala

Recently we dedicated an article to the divas of the festival, pointing out - section by section - the faces of the female stars of the films in this year's program. In this post on male stardom, we present a list of performers adored by the public due to their particular distinctive aura. An array of actors: from the handsome and the damned, the reassuringly beautiful, the minstrels, the smouldering moustaches and the faces of angels, the melancholic buffoons and the sad comedians, the restless souls and the creepy figures, to the sullen stars and protagonists of silent cinema.

Tonight in Piazza Maggiore (with a cover set at Cinema Arlecchino in case of rain) we will watch Dans la nuit (France/1929), one of the last masterpieces of silent french cinema, accompanied by the music of the finnish band Cleaning Women. It was the first and only directing credits of Charles Vanel, who was mainly an actor - a quiet prolific one, actually. The passage from acting to directing is not such a strange phenomenon nowadays, but it's still pretty unusual. At Il Cinema Ritrovato this year, we can find also other cases.

Dopo il successo del primo weekend, che ci ha permesso finalmente di riunirci tutti insieme in sala di fronte al grande schermo, Il Cinema Ritrovato apre le proprie porte ai non accreditati, mettendo a disposizione biglietti a pagamento per la maggior parte degli appuntamenti, e apre finalmente le prenotazioni per tutte le proiezioni serali.

This Year il Cinema Ritrovato dedicates two appointments to CAM Sugar, historical film music label that represents the richer source of music visuals in Italy. A selection of CAM Sugar artworks is at the centre of an exhibition that takes place in Biblioteca Renzo Renzi from June 25th to september 10th (closed in august). Besides, CAM Sugar catalogue will be presented in Piazzetta Pasolini during a dedicated event on Friday July 1st at 7PM.

Tonight in Piazza Maggiore, you can't miss the first cineconcert of this edition of the festival: the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna directed by Timothy Brock will accompany the screening of Foolish Wives (1920), by Erich Von Stroheim. As Dave Kehr remember in the festival catalogue, «Foolish Wives was promoted during production as the “first million dollar movie,” with its budget updated weekly on a billboard in Times Square, and the fan magazines stuffed with tales of Stroheim’s mad extravagance». But what kind of mad ectravagance?
