Fare Cinema: A film festival in Luxembourg with a focus on Mastroianni and restoration<\/p>\n
The \u2018Fare Cinema\u2019 Festival, launched by the Foreign Ministry to promote high-quality film productions abroad, has landed in Luxembourg. The Italian Embassy has organised a series of screenings spanning from the classics of the past to contemporary cinema with two films of civic engagement. The week chosen for the Festival, from 3 to 11 November, coincided with the 41st<\/sup> edition of the \u2018Festival du film italien de Villerupt\u2019. The Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que de la Ville de Luxembourg,\u00a0together with the Centre National de l\u2019Audiovisuel\u00a0is the Italian Embassy\u2019s principal partner in presenting “Looking for Marcello”, a retrospective of some of Marcello Mastroianni\u2019s most famous performances. \u00a0<\/p>\n The Cin\u00e9mat\u00e8que also hosted the opening ceremony of the Festival with the screening of \u2018Twin Flower\u2019 (\u2018Fiore gemello\u2019) by Laura Luchetti, who was sitting in the audience. The award-winning film at the Toronto Film Festival and at the Cannes Festival tackles the story of young migrants landing in Italy against the background of the arid and sun-scorched island of Sardinia. Another very topical issue \u2013 that of sexual harassment on the workplace \u2013 is instead the theme of the second film screened: \u2018Woman\u2019s Name\u2019 (\u2018Nome di donna\u2019) by Marco Tullio Giordana, which is based on a real story and unveils the world of resigned and tight-lipped people that the principal character manages to disrupt. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Moreover, in order to promote the competence of Italian professionals in the field of film restoration and preservation, a round table was held to which the Embassy invited Daniela Curro’, Restorer at the National Cinematheque of Rome and the top Italian expert of film restoration and preservation who was awarded the Golden Lion at the latest edition of the Venice Festival for the restoration of \u201cThe Night of the Shooting Stars\u201d (“Notte di San Lorenzo”) by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani. To expand the debate to other experiences, the panel included Mirco Santi from the National Archive of Family Films of Bologna – Home Movies and Diego Cavallotti from the Laboratorio Camera Ottica of Gorizia, who presented a few short films restored by the laboratory of the University of Udine.<\/p>\n This market niche can foster a fruitful partnership between Italy\u2019s specialists and the activities being developed in Luxembourg also thanks to the historic presence of the titan RTL Group, which operates in around 30 Countries worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fare Cinema: A film festival in Luxembourg with a focus on Mastroianni and restoration The \u2018Fare Cinema\u2019 Festival, launched by the Foreign Ministry to promote high-quality film productions abroad, has landed in Luxembourg.
