This year our journey through time and film history takes place over eight days and evenings in five different locations. There are the two Lumière cinemas and the Arlecchino with its big screen waiting to fulfil a cinephile’s dreams. Then there is Piazza Maggiore, where film specialists and the ordinary residents of Bologna come together before the shadows of silent cinema or before the restored prints of some of cinema’s greatest classics: Paths of Glory, Mon oncle and Heaven’s Gate. And let’s not forget the Bologna Opera House where two masterpieces of silent cinema will be shown in restored versions: Ejzenštejn’s Bronenosec Potëmkin, with the legendary music of Edmund Meisel, and Chaplin’s A Woman of Paris, with music by Chaplin himself, restored and orchestrated by Timothy Brock.
