THIS SHOW I MISSED, BUT I INCLUDE IT IN MY DIARY TO COVER THE COMPLETE LIST OF THE ANNO UNO PROGRAMME.
1896. Cinema anno uno – Lumière!
1896. Year One of Cinematography
Programma 6: Italia 1896 – in onore di Aldo Bernardini
Programme 6: Italy 1896 – in Honor of Aldo Bernardini
Gian Luca Farinelli: "Aldo Bernardini has two parallel, but closely linked, lives: that of a film critic and that of an Italian cinema historian. As a critic he became known and appreciated for his many writings on actors and filmmakers from both Italian cinema and beyond. He collaborated with the principal national newspapers and was chief editor of international encyclopaedias like Schedario Cinematografico and Filmlexicon degli Autori e delle Opere and the “Rivista del Cinematografo”. For several years he was also secretary of the Italian film critics union. As a historian, in 1964 he was one of the founders of the pioneering Associazione Italiana per le Ricerche di Storia del Cinema, the oldest film history research association in the world, which took over from the historical conference that previously took place at the Venice Film Festival."
"Anyone who wants to write about or work with Italian cinema employing a scientific approach must inevitably turn to Bernardini or make use of the research tools he developed. Despite operating outside of academia as a free agent, Bernardini managed to lay the historiographic foundations for the study of Italian cinema. He was one of the first in Europe who, in order to compile a history of Italian cinema, based his research on documents and materials deriving from the Ministry and production companies. An extraordinary task animated by a deep desire to be systematic, which fed into the essential database compiled for Anica."
"We are both happy and honoured to announce that Aldo Bernardini has decided to donate his personal archive to the Cineteca di Bologna, which already houses the Vittorio Martinelli collection. The Cineteca can therefore be proud of now housing the archives of these two great Italian film historians." – Gian Luca Farinelli
Mariann Lewinsky: "The ideal film to open this programme is lost. La festa inaugurale del monumento a Marco Minghetti was the first film ever shot in Bologna, on June 28, 1896, and the first film ever to appear on a screen in Bologna, on August 27, 1896."
"Film historian Aldo Bernardini found its trace (a screening on July 19, 1896, in Genova) and put it on record in his monumental, meticulously researched Il cinema muto italiano. I film ‘dal vero’ 1895-1914 (2002), along with about forty more lost Italian films from 1896-1899. On the other hand about forty unidentified Italian films shot on Lumière stock, considered views “hors catalogue” or “hors production”, have survived, among them the undated Salone Margherita, shot maybe in 1896, maybe in Naples (and with Lumière operator Alexandre Promio maybe appearing in it)."
"To continue with first times, Levée de filets de pêche seems to be the first film shot abroad ever to be screened back in France, in Lyon, on March 8, 1896, and Bains de Diane became one of the first popular successes of cinematography. It was usually shown twice, the second time backwards, transformed into a surreal trick film with people jumping vertically out of the water up to the diving board, a comic highlight to end the show. Lumière père and frères and their representatives obviously knew about programming."
"The second part of our programme follows a historical screening in Turin (daily from December 20 to 26, 1896). Its finale, Le Serpent, stars the then world-famous performer Félicien Trewey, a close friend of the Lumière family. Louis Lumière filmed several of Trewey’s beautiful music hall numbers in early 1896." – Mariann Lewinsky
