Former Locarno and Berlin Film Festival Chief Carlo Chatrian Appointed Director of Italy’s National Film Museum in Turin
Former Locarno and Berlin Film Festival chief Carlo Chatrian has been appointed director of Italy’s National Film Museum in Turin.
The cinematic shrine housed in the iconic Mole Antonelliana domed tower, which is the Northern city’s main landmark, has long been known as a treasure trove of movie memorabilia, including pre-cinema magic lanterns and Federico Fellini’s red scarf and letters, as well as for its sleek glass elevator leading to a view of Turin and the Alps in the surrounding Piedmont region. Chatrian, who has a five year mandate as head of the museum, will replace Domenico De Gaetano under whose guidance the national institution gained greater international visibility. The museum also runs the three-screen Cinema Massimo movie theater, a film restoration laboratory, and has a hand in the TorinoFilmLab, a prominent incubator that supports global talents with several programs.
