Promoted by: Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia - Cineteca Nazionale, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, La Farfalla sul Mirino

Here we are again: the most anticipated and beloved film programme in Rome, presenting a string of classics that made the history of the seventh art, shown in their original 35mm format on the big screen. Some of the most celebrated masters of the golden age of Hollywood - from Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner (the first screening in the programme), to works by John Ford, Billy Wilder, Joseph Mankiewicz - will be seen side by side with outside-the-box auteurs like Samuel Fuller and the Polish director Andrzej Zulawski, as well as legendary couples like Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich. We celebrate French cinema with the inclusion of two giants in Jean-Pierre Melville, genius rewriter of the "polar" genre, and Jean-Luc Godard, always the provocative experimenter with his First Name: Carmen. Reflecting on Italy, there will be an opportunity to see what is widely considered as Neo-realism's first achievement: Obsession, the extraordinary first feature by Luchino Visconti, once mauled by censorship and here presented in a restored uncut version. Finally, to commemorate the First World War Centenary (summer of 2015), the last film in the programme will be Francesco Rosi's Many Wars Ago, a pacifist masterpiece that rounds off the collection of this year's unmissable shows, dedicated to audiences that want to rediscover the pleasures of great Cinema on the big screen.
