The Best of Il Cinema Ritrovato
Each summer, the Cineteca di Bologna, one of Europe’s most renowned archives for film restoration and preservation, organizes one of the world’s most unique film festivals, Il Cinema Ritrovato (“Rediscovered cinema”). Eight memorable days to dive into cinema’s past, Cinema Ritrovato also offers opportunities to meet renowned experts on film history as well as celebrated filmmakers. More than 360 titles are presented annually in six cinemas and on a giant screen in Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore. In the words of the former Artistic Director, the late Peter von Bagh, Il Cinema Ritrovato is pure heaven for cinéphiles. Our Cinematheque series highlights international feature films that all screened at the 2024 edition of the festival, including an Academy Film Archive and Cineteca di Bologna restoration of the original release version of Amadeus and selections from the Festival’s extensive retrospective tributes to actress Delphine Seyrig and director Anatole Litvak.
