Il Cinema Ritrovato 2026 | First News
Dear Cinephiles,
It is now just under three months until Il Cinema Ritrovato. And this will not be just another edition – it will be our XL (40th) edition, and X-large it will be in the abundance of films on offer. This very special edition, running from June 20 to 28, will strike a delicate balance between glamour and ecstasy, commitment and struggle; between dream and reality; between yesterday and today.
In addition to eight venues screening films and hosting events around the clock, there will be evening outdoor screenings: a rendezvous with La Nonna (“grandma”, the affectionate nickname given to our carbon arc projector) in the Piazzetta Pasolini, and the gathering point for some of the largest cinephile crowds anywhere in the world in Piazza Maggiore. The splendid Cinema Modernissimo remains the heart of the festival, and anyone can escape the intense June sun by running down the steps into the cool, dark, comforting embrace of this Art Deco gem.
