Attend the world’s most famous classic film festival event, Cinema Ritrovato, while immersing yourself in all aspects of film. This 8-day festival features silent and classic films, many newly restored, from throughout the world. The festival will feature a number of world famous filmmakers and film scholars. At the conclusion of the festival, students will choose to focus on either film production or film studies, though all students will participate in a course on Italian Neo Realism and its cinematic legacy. Those focusing on film production will work with the "Complete Your Fiction" production group where you will be mentored by professional Italian directors, cinematographers, production designers, and sound recording specialists in the creation of a short fiction film. Those focusing on film studies will have full access to the Bologna Cineteca library and archives for their research. The program features a tour of the Cineteca's Restoration Lab. This program is open to all upper division undergraduate and graduate students. Basic knowledge of Italian is recommended though not required. Less
