Seeyousound and the National Cinema Museum are presenting the first SoundFramesDay. Three films are being programmed: "Festiwal", "Monterey Pop" and "Let’s Get Lost".

April is marking the birth of a new format in the collaboration between the Seeyousound International Music Film Festival and the National Cinema Museum: the SoundFrames Days, monthly days for research dedicated to the relationship between cinema and music, an ideal connection between the 2018 and 2019 edition of the festival and the SoundFrames exhibition running until next January at the Mole Antonelliana.

Three films, three suggestions linked by their musical theme, which are also an occasion in April for looking forward to the Turin Jazz Festival, with a selected film presented at the cinema by TJF director, Giorgio Li Calzi.

Admission for a single screening: 7.50 euro (full)/ 5.00 euro (reduced).

Admission for two or three screenings: 5 per show (full)/ 4 per show (reduced).

Festiwal

(Poland 2017, 84’, DCP, col., o.v. it.s/t)

A classical music festival is in its very midst. The camera is moving unhindered, taking a look in the backstage, capturing the final rehearsals, following the technicians’ work, dress rehearsals and the final quips among musicians. Fans are collecting autographs backstage, and taking photos with their favourite artists. The stage seems to be somewhere, far away: the musical creation process and the touching feelings accompanying it are more important.

Sat 14, at 5.00 p.m.

D. A. Pennebaker

Monterey Pop

(Usa 1968, 79’, DCP, col., o.v. it.s/t)

Fifty years after its first screening in New York, what is considered to be the first film to ever document a rock event systematically (and favourably), shot by a master in this genre, D.A. Pennebaker, and capable of immortalising a few of the greatest rock artists of the Summer of Love on the stage of those three days of music at Monterey in 1967, is back in its restored version.

Sat 14, at 7.00 p.m.

Bruce Weber

Let’s Get Lost

(Usa 1988, 119’, DCP, b/w, o.v. it.s/t)

The restored version of Bruce Weber’s touching masterpiece brings back to the big screen the art, life, and experience of Chet Baker, one of the greatest jazz musicians of all times. Honest to a crying point, the film was made with difficulty due to Baker’s conditions, but it is able to tell a unique and unforgettable story.

Sat 14, at 9.00 p.m.
