Cinema Massimo continues the Permanent Restored Film Festival MAGNIFICENT VIEWINGS/MAGNIFICHE VISIONI with Play Time by Jacques Tati, introduced by Carlo Verdone
The fourth session of the National Cinema Museum’s Permanent Restored Film Festival MAGNIFICENT VIEWINGS/MAGNIFICHE VISIONI will be held in Theatre Three, Cinema Massimo on Tuesday 2 March 2010 at 8.45p.m.
The programme features one of Jacques Tati's best works, Play Time, which will be shown from the copy restored by Les Films de Mon Oncle and Cinémathèque française.
His most expensive film, Tati shot in a 70mm film format with stereophonic sound and built an entire futuristic city in the film studio. François Truffaut defined it as “A film that comes from another planet... the Europe of 1968 filmed by a Martian".
The film will be introduced by the actor/director Carlo Verdone.

The National Cinema Museum, the Turin DAMS (Art, Music, Performance) School and the National RAI Symphony Orchestra pay homage to Sergio Sablich
On the 3, 4 and 5 March in Turin, homage will be paid to the musicologist and important Bergman collector Sergio Sablich who sadly died on 7 March 2005. The Sablich family have recently donated Sablich's Bergman collection to the National Cinema Museum where it is currently being catalogued with the help of the Northern Performance Studies Department of the Turin DAMS School. The Sablich collection will be one of the most concise and complete Bergman collections on an international scale and will be an exceptionally rich and relevant collection for studies based on the Swedish director’s work. The event in the memory of Sergio Sablich is organised by the National Cinema Museum, the Turin DAMS School and the National RAI Symphony Orchestra.
The National Cinema Museum, in collaboration with the Svenska Filminstitutet-Cinemateket, will show the restored Winter Light/Luci d'inverno film by Ingmar Bergman at 8.30p.m. The film will be introduced by Franco Prono and Marina Sablich – entry €4.00.
