RECOVERED AND RESTORED
This year’s Recovered and Restored selection includes great masters like Renoir, Visconti, Buñuel, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Stevens, Sirk, von Stroheim and Murnau alongside less famous but no less astonishing filmmakers: Kira Muratova, whose early Brief Encounters (a sort of musical on the troubles of a young supervisor in the Soviet Communist Party) will screen together with The Long Farewell; Tuija-Maija Niskanen, with her portrait of a woman, Avskedet; Vojteˇch Jasný, whose Až prˇijde kocour was made in complete freedom with a cat as a protagonist! Although less celebrated as a director than as an actor, in Buck and the Preacher, Sidney Poitier provides us with an astounding western in which Afro-Americans join forces with the Indians against the (white) bad guys. And there will also be Argento, Lynch, Waters, Russell: just a few of the names included in a special ‘pop programme’ we have in store for our audience.
