In this 35th edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato the festival section dedicated to documentaries is, as usual, rich and diversified. It will include portraits<\/strong> of great filmmakers, compilation films<\/strong> and restorations<\/strong> and, after more than a year spent inside our houses, a selection of travel films<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The portraits dedicated to\u00a0Charlie Chaplin<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Michael Cimino<\/a> stood out due to the sheer amount of work completed by Aym\u00e9, Jeuland and Thoret. The documentaries about\u00a0Micheaux<\/a>, Farrow<\/a>, de Fun\u00e8s<\/a>, Eisner<\/a>\u00a0fill in important gaps and could not go missing from a festival that has exploration of new terrain written in its DNA. The portrait of Anthony Hopkins<\/a>\u00a0brings us closer to one of the greatest and most enigmatic contemporary actors, while the documentary on\u00a0Montand-Signoret and Monroe-Miller<\/a>\u00a0is a compelling story brilliantly told through images.<\/p>\n The compilation films by\u00a0Nico Naldini<\/a>, Peet Gelderblom<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Bill Morrison<\/a> demonstrate how cinema produces more cinema, while works by great italian DOP, Massimo Terzano<\/a> e Mario Craveri<\/a>, and the outsider\u00a0Mario Fantin<\/a>\u00a0(protagonist of the closing screening in piazza maggiore with his beautiful shots in\u00a0Italia K2<\/a><\/em>) bring us around the world.<\/p>\n Among the restored documentaries we signal\u00a0<\/em>Woodcutters of the Deep South<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Lionel Rogosin (that will be presented along with the documentary made this year by his son Michael,\u00a0Working Together<\/em><\/a>, which demonstrates how his father\u2019s work illuminates the great social and political issues of today), and\u00a0F for Fake<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Fluchtweg nach Marseille<\/em><\/a>, two films that stretch the limits of the genre, blending documentary with fiction, in order to deal with two important issues. After all, isn\u2019t the documentary the first form of fiction in film?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
