This year, thanks to the valuable collaboration between Fondazione Puglia and Fondazione Apulia Film Commission, Bif&st presents an immersive audio-photographic exhibition held in the restored Palazzo Starita, curated by journalist and film critic Silvio Danese, entitled SEMBRA CH\u2019\u00c8 PASSATO UN GIORNO. VOICES, STORIES, IMAGES FROM THE ROMANCE OF ITALIAN CINEMA. An exhibition designed as an audiovisual journey through the history of Italian cinema, featuring rare photographs, archive material and sound recordings from public and private collections. <\/p>\n\n
The exhibition will open on Friday 20 March at 18.30 and will run until Sunday 12 April. The opening will be attended by Antonio Castorani, president of the Puglia Foundation, Anna Maria Tosto, president of the Apulia Film Commission Foundation, Oscar Iarussi, artistic director of Bif&st, and Silvio Danese, curator of the exhibition. <\/p>\n\n
In the wake of the memory and history of Italian cinema, the exhibition Sembra ch\u2019\u00e8 passato un giorno invites the public to take a journey through time via some of the figures who have shaped the cinematic imagination of the 20th century.
The exhibition stems from the idea that the cinema of the last century continues to accompany us like an invisible travelling companion. Through rare photographs, archival materials and sound recordings from public and private collections, the exhibition reconstructs a narrative made up of images, words and memories, bringing the great stars of Italian cinema to life even off-set, featuring around 200 prints, 40 texts and a montage of voices that accompanies the visitor\u2019s journey through the rooms of Palazzo Starita. <\/p>\n\n
Visitors are invited to embark on a veritable audiovisual journey, built around historical prints, photographic archives and recordings drawn from interviews and testimonies of the era. The texts and audio materials on display reveal anecdotes, reflections and memories that capture the cultural energy of post-war Italy.
A special section of the exhibition is dedicated to Claudia Cardinale, to whom the festival pays tribute with the poster for the 17th edition, featuring the screen tests taken at the start of her career by Franco Pinna for Franco Cristaldi\u2019s Vides, and the documentary Claudia Cardinale \u2013 La plus belle italienne de Tunisi by Mohamed Challouf and Mahmoud Ben Mahmoud, focusing on the actress\u2019s years in Tunisia.<\/p>\n\n
The exhibition\u2019s sound dimension completes the immersive experience: two pieces \u2014 Nocturnes Nos. 1 and 7 from Eleven Nocturnes by the New York composer and musicologist Kyle Gann, performed by pianist Emanuele Arciuli \u2014 accompany the exhibition route like a musical tapestry that amplifies the evocative power of the journey through time.<\/p>\n\n
