Wim Wenders will be a special guest of Italy's Cinema Ritrovato Festival where a restored copy of his 'A Trick of the Light' will world premiere.
Wim Wenders will be a special guest of Italy’s Cinema Ritrovato Festival dedicated to cinematic treasures of the past where a freshly restored copy of his “A Trick of the Light” (“Die Gebrüder Skladanowsky”), which pays tribute to forgotten pioneers of the moving image, will have its world premiere. The world premiere of the restored version of “A Trick of the Light” on June 22 will be the occasion for a special viewing and listening experience: Petitgand, who wrote the music for ten Wenders’ films, including “Tokyo-Ga”; “Faraway, So Close!” and “The Salt of the Earth” will personally perform and accompany the screening live with electric piano, saxophone, harmonica, and guitar at Bologna’s Cinema Modernissimo. On Saturday evening, Wenders and Alexander Payne will introduce John Ford’s 1956 epic Western “The Searchers” in a new 70mm restoration on Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore.
