CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS
(Proiezione in 3D)Canada/USA/France/Germany/UK 2010 90'
2011 Monday, November 14th, Odeon, 9:30 pm
Directed by: Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog once again allows us to cross the border into something extraordinary: the cave of Chauvet in southern France, the oldest in the world. The film shows us the walls of the cave, allowing us to discover the works of art that adorn them, dating back to 32,000 years ago. The use of 3D technology makes the journey into the depths of the earth and the meeting with an old civilization even more realistic, touching and moving.
Event with the collaboration with Fondazione Florens.

CHRONIQUE D’UN FILM
France 2011
2011 Saturday, November 12th, Istituto Francese, 3:00 pm
Directed by: Ayreen Anastas, François Bucher, René Gabri
Presentation of the project based on previously unrealised material from Chronique d’un Été, by Jean Rouch e Edgar Morin
“In 2007 we decided to work together on a project in order to revisit the revolutionary ethos of the 1960s, intended as a collective project remained unfinished, dedicating ourselves to analyze the extraordinary film by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin: Chronique d’un Été (1961). We recovered the rushes of the film, to make a new editing and redeem the missed opportunity.” Chronique d’un Film is a project, a work in progress, constantly in dialogue with the original film.

CRAZY HORSE
Festival Closing NightFrance/USA 2011 134'
2011 Saturday, November 19th, Odeon, 8:00 pm
Directed by: Frederick Wiseman
From the study of choreography and lighting, to the making of the
costumes and the auditions, Wiseman delves into the rooms of the
parisian cabaret Crazy Horse, one of the places that have built the erotic imagination of the twentieth century. The need to preserve a tradition sometimes hardly coexists with the evolution of the idea of entertainment for adults and taste for beauty.

IT MIGHT GET LOUD
Festival Opening NightUSA 2008 97'
2011 Saturday, November 12th, 9:30 pm
Directed by: Davis Guggenheim
Get ready because… It Might Get Loud!
Three generations of guitarists come together in an empty space to be filled with music and thoughts. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2), Jack White (The White Stripes) and 6 strings to tell stories made of music and rebellion. Inspired and captivating, intimate and revelatory, this film gets to focus primarily on the people rather than on the rock stars, on music rather than on success.
