Eyes That Saw

A warehouse of the imaginary, a library of vision, a labyrinth of dreams: this, and much more, is the Museo Nazionale del Cinema. From the magic lanterns to the rotoscopes, from the archive footages of the Torino relics at the time of Pastrone, “Occhi che videro” reconstructs an atmosphere of magic and allure of the visual utopias before the Lumière brothers that any technologic marvel will ever be able reach. But the film is first of all an homage to the founder of the Museum: Maria Adriana Prolo.

Sergio Leone: The Italian Who Invented America

To mark the recent thirtieth anniversary of Sergio Leone’s death, this documentary sets out to pay tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema. The singular artistic vision of Sergio Leone has transcended national borders, creating the Spaghetti Western genre and transforming the international cinematic panorama forever with his innovative stylistic and narrative solutions, which have now become part of the language of the movies. The film, which is enriched with precious archive footage from the Cineteca di Bologna, including rare audio recordings and film clips shot behind the scenes, sees for the first time the direct participation of the Leone family and has interviews both with Leone’s longtime collaborators and with icons of Hollywood who have been profoundly influenced by his work.
