24th EDITION
“100 years ago”, an annual feature of the festival, opens the door to the most beautiful kind of time travel, because it leads us to define the nature of our existence. A film festival is always a time machine, and Il Cinema Ritrovato doubly so. Every bit of film contributes to the kaleidoscope of a century, especially when screened now, at the beginning of a new century and during circumstances where almost no moment of film, and few entire films, count in the same way. Another defining word goes hand in hand with time travel: dialogue. History is dialoguing with each of us at every step, whether through a historical period, a genre, a retrospective of a director or actor, or a theme like colour: all this gives us clues that matter. Il Cinema Ritrovato is a web of correspondences in the finest sense of the word. Each of our films has a history. The program is always immeasurably more than a succession of films. Behind the scenes of the program is not only the Bologna staff, but also so many individual participants, and the enormously knowledgeable audience we now have around us.
