Classici fuori Mostra

The first edition of the Permanent Festival of Restored Films will feature twelve masterpieces from the past in the original language version with subtitles in Italian, a selection from a list of the finest and most recent film restoration projects completed by film libraries and production companies around the world. The intention is to introduce audiences to the films that have marked the history of cinema and continue to inspire the work of today’s filmmakers.

The first film in the programme, Don’t Look Now (1973), a horror film masterpiece by British director Nicolas Roeg starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland (restored by StudioCanal), will be introduced on Friday July 24^th at 9 pm by director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria, I Am Love) and Giovanni Soccol.

A tribute to the great Venetian photographer Fulvio Roiter will be held on Saturday July 25^th at 9 pm, in collaboration with the Fondazione Roiter and the City of Venice, before the screening of Fat City (1971) by John Huston.

“The growing success of the Venice Classics section which registered the greatest participation of spectators during the last Biennale Cinema, confirms the existence of an audience that is extremely interested in seeing film classics from the world heritage of cinema.
The opportunity to see, again or for the first time, films that have left their mark on the development of the language and aesthetics of the Seventh Art is a valuable one for the public in general, but for students in particular it has an added element of educational enrichment.
These considerations led to the idea of a film series titled Classici fuori Mostra, a weekly event that will extend the joy of viewing that a film festival must necessarily limit to a span of just a few days”.

Screenings will begin at 9 pm.

All the films are in the original language version with subtitles in Italian.
