An A-list panel of key actors in the film heritage industry gathered around a table at the Lumière Festival’s Classic Film Market with this year’s special guest Margaret Bodde to discuss how they relay the actions of the Film Foundation she heads.
Picked up by Criterion in the U.S., the film toured the festivals last year, including Bologna, New York and Lumière, and was released in French cinemas in August. “Normally, the films we restore go to fifty or sixty festivals: they circulate a lot. For us, the number one joy is when the film is rediscovered in the country of origin – it makes sense,” said panelist Cecilia Cenciarelli, head of international projects at the Cineteca di Bologna.
Whenever possible the Cineteca works with the director or family members, as with “Chess of the Wind,” whose restoration was overseen by both Aslani and his daughter, who lives in Paris where the Cineteca has one of its labs. The film’s director of photography also assisted in the restoration process.
