From 14 February to 15 May 2024 – on a weekly basis, at 7 pm at the Cinema Rossini in Venice – the fifth edition of the film series Classici fuori Mostra. Permanent Festival of Restored Films will take place; the series is organized by La Biennale di Venezia in collaboration with the City of Venice’s Circuito Cinema and the professors of film studies at Ca’ Foscari University and Università IUAV in Venice.
The series will present eleven film Classics that have recently been restored by major film archives worldwide, in the original language and with Italian subtitles. Each film will be introduced by an expert and followed by a Q&A session with the audience. Special discounts are available for students (reduced student ticket price, 3 euro; reduced student pass, 22 euro; full price ticket, 6 euro).
“Classici Fuori Mostra, that Venice's public has shown it appreciates through its assiduous attendance during the past editions, is back for the fifth time”, declared the Film Festival's artistic director, Alberto Barbera. “The possibility to see, or see once again, on the silver screen some of the masterpieces that have marked the evolution of the seventh art over the course of the past century, in versions that have been carefully restored by some of the major film archives and specialized laboratories throughout the world, is obviously a precious opportunity that students, in particular, intend to exploit”.
Screenings begin at 7:00 pm
All films screen in the original language with subtitles in Italian
