CR YOUNG AND IL CINEMA RITROVATO FESTIVAL

Every summer, during the prestigious film festival ‘Il Cinema Ritrovato’, a group of young cinephiles, aged between 16 and 20, get together to share their vision of the world of cinema. These ambassadors of the new generation present films that their peers are often unfamiliar with.

This year, the CR Young selected five films from the festival programme linked by the common thread of female representation in cinema. In addition, they had the opportunity to confront and dialogue with important figures from the world of cinema, such as film director Marco Bellocchio, filmmaker Damien Chazelle and well-known film critic Paolo Mereghetti.

During the Festival del Cinema Ritrovato 2024, I had the good fortune to join an enthusiastic group of young cinephiles and cinephiles. It was an extraordinary and very stimulating experience, as I had the opportunity to work closely with this generation of talents full of energy and passion.

I am deeply grateful to Simone Fratini and Narges Bayat of the Cineteca di Bologna for their invaluable support to the group.
