Il Cinema Ritrovato is an annual film festival organised every summer by Cineteca di Bologna in Italy and dedicated to the history of cinema, screening film classics and retrospectives, and showcasing the latest restored works from cinematographic archives and film laboratories around the world. Founded in 1986 originally as a three-day event, over time the festival became bigger (with 500 films screened over nine days in 2018). The majority of the films shown are from early days of cinematography to the 1960s.[1] [2] [3]
