Oscar-winning edition for the Bif & st - Bari
International Film Festival (April 27-May 4) directed by Felice Laudadio and
chaired by Margarethe von Trotta. The 90th anniversary of Ennio Morricone will
be celebrated on the opening night of April 27th, at the Teatro Petruzzelli.
And with the great musician, who will receive the Federico Fellini Platinum
Award for Cinematic Excellence, there will be three other Academy Awards:
Nicola Piovani, Gianni Quaranta and Giuseppe Tornatore. The keys to the city
will also be presented to the most important living composer of film music,
two-time Oscar winner. The Festival will then dedicate a retrospective to him,
consisting of 42 films he has set to music, chosen from over 520 titles in his
filmography, a large photographic exhibition set up in the wonderful Colonnade
of the Province of Bari and a series of eight meetings with some directors with
which he collaborated. Giuliano Montaldo, Roberto Faenza, Dario Argento, Ricky
Tognazzi, Simona Izzo and Marco Bellocchio are expected. Even the inaugural
event of the Festival will be a tribute, albeit indirect, to Ennio Morricone,
with the screening of the silent Naples film that sings realized in 1926 by Leone
Roberto Roberti, father of that Sergio Leone with whom Morricone's talent is
inextricably linked. The film restored by Paolo Cherchi Usai for the George
Eastman Museum in Rochester, will be accompanied by the live performance of
songs and music from the great Neapolitan tradition by Lina Sastri.
