For the PHANTOMS OF FORGOTTEN MEN. The Great Depression in Hollywood genres showcase, film screening of My man Godfrey by Gregory La Cava, on Monday 27 May 2013 at 3.30 p.m. in the events room at the Library/Mediatheque. Introduced by Hamilton Santià.

PHANTOMS OF FORGOTTEN MEN offers a selection of films – programmed at the Mario Gromo Library/Mediatheque in the month of May – which were produced in Hollywood during the years of the Great Depression and which work as an ideal mirror for understanding that type of economic crisis and the ensuing anxieties, disappointments and hopes. In this sense, cinema is offered as a valuable testimonial tool, which may be examined not only by cinema historians but also by those involved in economic and social disciplines.

The showcase is organised in collaboration with the Luigi Einaudi Foundation, DAMS – Turin University and curators Gruppo cinematografico universitario Ultracorpi.

Admission: 6.00/4.00/3.00 euro.

A tribute to Hong Sang-soo organised by the C.E.C. of Udine with the screening of his latest three films, unreleased in Italy, for the occasion of the release of his latest feature film In Another Country, distributed by Tucker Film. A “Rohmerian” filmmaker par excellence, he constructs his stories ordered into narrative streams in which the surreal element merges dreams with reality. His films are a tribute to cinema each time and exalt fortuity: “Fortuitous things happen without reason in our lives but we select a few to form a pattern of thought  that makes up what we call reason”.
