39th Mostra pays tribute to The Film Foundation

13 de Outubro de 2015

In this edition, Mostra pays tribute to The Film Foundation, created in 1990 by Martin Scorsese and dedicated to protecting and preserving motion picture history. By working in partnership with archives and studios, the foundation preserves and restores cinematic treasures ―nearly 700 to date.

The foundation`s World Cinema Project restores, preserves and distributes neglected films from around the world. To date, 24 films from Central & South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East have been made available to a global audience.

Mostra will screen 25 of the restored films funded by The Film Foundation, including Limite, the masterpiece by Mário Peixoto. Two films will be presented in outdoor screenings: The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, by Alfred Hitchcock, which will be shown at the Brazilian Cinemateque; and My Best Girl, directed by Sam Taylor and starring Mary Pickford, which will be screened at Ibirapuera Park with live music by the Heliópolis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Michael Frank.

The selection also includes works by filmmakers Shadi Abdel Salam, Bahram Beyzaie, Lino Brocka, Frank Capra, Stanley Donen, Ahmed El Maanouni, Metin Erksan, John Ford, Bob Fosse, Elia Kazan, Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch, Sergei Parajanov, Michael Powell, Otto Preminger Emeric Pressburger, Nicholas Ray, Francesco Rosi, Martin Scorsese, Ousmane Sembène, Luchino Visconti and Edward Yang.
