Il Cinema Ritrovato Film Festival - Bologna, June 30th/July 7th 2001
 
cinema²
OLD IMAGES, NEW FILMS
 
1. BACK TO THE ORIGINS

IL CINEMA RITROVATO
The Festival, organised by Cineteca di Bologna in collaboration with Amsterdam's Nederlands Filmmuseum, is dedicated to the rediscovery of restored films and special editions, forgotten and unseen films, with a particular focus on cinema origins and the silent movie period. Every year, more than 100 films are screened during the festival before hundreds of guests coming from international archives all over the world, as well as researchers, students, cinema historians and a considerable audience of cinema lovers.    
 
cinema² / OLD IMAGES, NEW FILMS
This year, Il Cinema Ritrovato film festival has added a new section dedicated to "cinema without the camera" in other words, to those films which have been completely (or mainly) made by editing or developing pre-existent images, films already exposed by someone else, somewhere else. films which have been searched for or casually found, dating from every period from the origins of cinema to the classic and modern, from amateur or scientific cinema to newsreel or advertisements.
The old images are "re-turned", reprinted, edited, compared, analysed, criticised, enlarged, coloured, scratched, accelerated, slowed-down, elaborated in a thousands different ways. ranging from the most respectfully edited documentaries to experimental cinema multiform and dazzling recycling operations, from found-footage to compilation films. Re-found and reused Cinema.
Shortly and most consistently with the subject, we could quote: Tradition is the handing on of fire, not the worship of ashes.
 
BACK TO THE ORIGINS is the title of the first edition of cinema²: seven screenings dedicated to those films that go upstream in the cinema history back to the original images and the silent film period: the first cinematographic studies, Lumière's vues , Mélies' fantasies, cinema from the beginning of the century, the Belle Epoque, Griffith, Ejzenstejn, Buñuel, Dreyer, newsreels, amateur films and travelogues from the 10s and the 20s. Different ways to watch and discover cinema to which for 15 years now, Il Cinema Ritrovato has dedicated all its attention and the curiosity of its great audience. 
 
Every screening will be preceded by a projection of the photographic series Les trente étreintes by French photographer Eric Rondepierre, made from a unidentified nitrate film fragment preserved at the Cineteca di Bologna (courtesy Galerie Michèle Chomette, Paris).
