Avevi dei meravigliosi capelli neri. A Bologna, tre anni fa, eri semplicemente lì, con una naturalezza che resta impressa e che nessun regime potrà mai cancellare.

R.I.P. Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)

💙 Happy Birthday Italia Almirante Manzini!

✨ Il 3 giugno 1890 nasceva una delle dive meno celebrate, ma non per questo meno straordinarie, del cinema italiano: Italia Almirante Manzini.

🎞️ La ricordiamo con questa immagine scattata durante la proiezione di “𝗟𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮” (1923), presentato in versione restaurata alle Giornate 2025.

✨ Uno dei piaceri più grandi del festival è la scoperta: incontrare opere e artisti che il tempo ha in parte nascosto, oppure ritrovarli sul grande schermo con occhi nuovi. La retrospettiva biennale dedicata a Italia Almirante Manzini, iniziata lo scorso anno, nasce proprio da questo desiderio di riscoperta, che ogni anno anima il pubblico delle Giornate.

✨ On June 3, 1890, one of the least celebrated—yet no less extraordinary—divas of Italian cinema was born: Italia Almirante Manzini.

🎞️ We celebrate her with this photograph taken during the screening of “𝗟𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮” (1923), presented in its restored version at the 2025 Giornate.

✨ One of the festival’s greatest pleasures is discovery: encountering works and artists that time has partly obscured, or rediscovering them on the big screen through fresh eyes. The biennial retrospective dedicated to Italia Almirante Manzini, which began last year, was born from this very desire for rediscovery—a spirit that continues to inspire audiences at the Giornate year after year.

From San Francisco Film Preserve 😍😊😍😊

We are overwhelmed — in the best possible way. ✨

The response to our SUNRISE restoration announcement last week has moved us deeply. The messages, the shares, the outpouring of excitement from film lovers around the world. Thank you! This is exactly why this work matters.

For those just joining us: SFFP’s new 4K restoration of F.W. Murnau’s SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS, a multiple winner at the first-ever Academy Awards and one of the most celebrated films ever made, will have its world premiere at the 40th annual Il Cinema Ritrovato festival in Bologna next month. For the first time in nearly a century, audiences will see this masterpiece in a form closely resembling its original appearance. 🎞️

This restoration is a collaboration between San Francisco Film Preserve, BFI, CINEMATEK, Eye Filmmuseum, MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, Národní filmový archiv, George Eastman Museum, and The Library of Congress. It is, by any measure, a once-in-a-generation project. And it belongs to everyone who believes cinema is worth saving. 🎬
