The MAGNIFICHE VISIONI (MAGNIFICENT VISIONS) Permanent Festival of Restored Film continues at Cinema Massimo with a screening of Mario Camerini’s Rotaie (Rails) with a live soundtrack provided by Paolo Spaccamonti, Marco Piccirillo, Ramon Moro and Dario Bruna.

The National Museum of Cinema presents its seventh event in the MAGNIFICHE VISIONI (MAGNIFICENT VISIONS) permanent festival of restored film on Wednesday, the 28th of April 2010 at 8.45 p.m. at Cinema Massimo’s Screen 3.

The evening will feature a restored copy of Mario Camerini’s Rotaie (Rails). This copy of the film was restored by the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana. As this was the Roman film director’s last silent film, a symbol of the so-called Italian film renaissance following the production crisis of the late 1920s, the film will be provided with a live soundtrack by Paolo Spaccamonti (guitar, special effects), Marco Piccirillo (double bass), Ramon Moro (trumpet, tenor horn, special effects) and Dario Bruna (drums, objects, electronics). Admission: 5.50/4.00/3.00 euros.

The MAGNIFICHE VISIONI (MAGNIFICENT VISIONS) permanent festival of restored film organises two events each month that show masterpieces of the cinema, from the golden age of classic cinema and silent film, right up to the nouvelles vagues of the 1960s and beyond, with restored copies that come from the most important film archives in the world. All films are presented in their original version with Italian subtitles and every screening will be introduced by film directors, film critics or celebrities from the world of culture and cinema.
