Cineteca di Bologna

"...Cineteca di Bologna, one of the world’s major film archives, whose L’Immagine Ritrovata lab has been restoring and preserving the legacy of cinema for over twenty-five years.

Its restorations regularly premiere at major festivals such as Cannes and Venice before heading out to repertory theaters around the world.

It has been held since 1986 and it presents a precious selection of rare movies or works that are considered lost[citation needed], recovered from historical archives of many countries, and sometimes even restored films.

From 2001 until his death in 2014, the artistic director of the festival was Finnish film critic Peter von Bagh[citation needed].

The current directors of the festival are Gian Luca Farinelli, Mariann Lewinsky, Cecilia Cenciarelli and Ehsan Khoshbakht.
