The National Cinema Museum Association presents “70 years on – A tribute to Maria Adriana Prolo”, with a screening of Daniele Segre’s film Occhi che videro.

The National Cinema Museum Association pays tribute to Maria Adriana Prolo, the museum’s founder, with a screening of Daniele Segre’s film Occhi che videro (50’, 1989), on 6 June 2011, at Cinema Massimo’s Screen Three, at 6.30 p.m. Not many people know that the idea of creating a film museum came to Prolo on that very day, 6th June 1941, when she wrote in her little diary “thought of a museum”. The film is a long and intense dialogue with Maria Adriana Prolo who tells her story and that of the museum, from its beginnings at Palazzo Chiablese until its arrival at the Mole Antonelliana building. Before the screening there will be a brief talk by the film’s director, Daniele Segre, the Association’s president Vittorio Sclaverani, Giovanni Zanetti, a member of the Association’s scientific committee and board members Caterina Taricano and Matteo Pollone. Admission free.
