Le Giornate del Cinema Muto 2024: Pordenone Post No 3
I promise you, I really am in Pordenone, not in Paris. But honestly, the geography is becoming a little subjective. We seem unable to escape the Rive Gauche for long. This morning, a really quite exceptionally taut melodrama from Louiis Feuillade, with sets,of course, by Ben Carré, illustrated how the Latin Quarter exerts its own gravitational pull, morally, if not physically. In La Tare (1911),…

Introduction by Anthony L'Abbate, Preservation Manager, Moving Image Department and Caroline Yeager, Associate Curator, Moving Image Department
The announcement that Orson Welles’s missing (and unfinished) film Too Much Johnson had been found and preserved, sent a pleasant shock wave through cinema circles in 2013. Discovered with a group of other film materials in a warehouse in Pordenone, Italy, in 2003, Too Much Johnson survived by a quirk of fate. Mario Catto, an enthusiastic cinephile who often collaborated with Le Giornate del Cinema Muto (a film festival devoted solely to screening silent films), was told by a family friend about a crate full of potentially dangerous old film that had been abandoned years before in his shipping warehouse. Catto suggested that his friend donate it to Cinemazero, a highly regarded film society in Pordenone. Cinemazero accepted the films and began the laborious and years-long task of examining and identifying the mixture of 35mm and 16mm film elements on both safety and nitrate based film stocks. The films turned out to be the works of Orson Welles.
Prominent Welles scholar Ciro Giorgini positively identified nine nitrate reels as being Welles’s lost film Too Much Johnson. A tenth nitrate reel was decomposing and it was not actually verified as being part of the film until it was sent to a laboratory for preservation in 2013. Cinemazero recognized that the nitrate reels of Too Much Johnson needed long-term conservation, and so, nearly ten years after Catto first saw the crate, the nitrate positive work print of Too Much Johnson was consigned to their colleagues at the Cineteca del Friuli, also in Pordenone. Preserving Too Much Johnson now became the crucial issue.
Because the film was both nitrate and American, funding for full preservation would prove difficult to obtain in Italy. In January 2013, Cineteca del Friuli contacted the George Eastman Museum to discuss preserving Too Much Johnson, as well as providing permanent conservation for the 35mm nitrate master. The Eastman Museum agreed to accept the nitrate film and through an emergency grant arranged by the National Film Preservation Foundation, the nine identified reels of Too Much Johnson would be preserved. The tenth, decomposing reel, was preserved separately and joined the other reels prior to the film’s world premiere.
Produced by the Mercury Theatre, Too Much Johnson was meant to introduce each act of William Gillette’s stage play of the same name. Even in its unfinished state, the film shows all the hallmarks of Welles’s cinematic genius. Starring Joseph Cotten, Edgar Barrier, Arlene Francis and other Mercury Theatre actors, it is a lively, vibrant, funny, and exciting homage to silent film comedy and stands on its own as a cinematic gem. The new score provided by Philip C. Carli, was inspired by Paul Bowles’s score for the Mercury Theatre stage production.

Modena: Aperto il bando di “Soundtracks” che selezionerà cinque interpreti under 36 interessati alla sonorizzazione dei film.
Modena: Aperto il bando di “Soundtracks” che selezionerà cinque interpreti under 36 interessati alla sonorizzazione dei film. Torna “Soundtracks – Musica da film”, per l’undicesima edizione a Modena. Il progetto offre ai giovani interpreti la possibilità di un’esperienza artistica di rilievo nel corso della quale avranno modo di lavorare sulla sonorizzazione di pellicole cinematografiche ed esibirsi in festival e rassegne di alto profilo. I vincitori del bando avranno a disposizione tutor selezionati fra musicisti di livello nazionale sui temi dell’integrazione fra linguaggi musicale e cinematografico, dell’accompagnamento in note live dei film, dell’improvvisazione sulle immagini e degli esperimenti di dialogo tra cinema muto e musica contemporanea. Per questa undicesima edizione saranno selezionati cinque giovani (con particolare riferimento ad archi, sassofoni, chitarre, basso, percussioni-batteria e musicisti elettronici) i quali dovranno comporre un ensemble musicale. Il corso prevede dieci giornate di residenza artistica, cinque in marzo e altrettante in maggio, presso la Torre del 71MusicHub di via Morandi 71. Il gruppo lavorerà col coordinatore del corso, Corrado Nuccini dei Giardini di Mirò, e con i tutor Adele Altro (Any other) e Karim Qqru (Zen circus). Le attività porteranno alla realizzazione di due sonorizzazioni di film muti di cui è prevista l’interpretazione in otto concerti all'interno di festival e location di vario tipo, tra cui il Museo del Cinema di Torino (venerdì 14 aprile) e il Festival Filosofia di Modena (sabato 16 settembre). Requisiti fondamentali per partecipare all’iniziativa sono la residenza o il domicilio in Emilia-Romagna e avere meno di 36 anni. La partecipazione al corso è gratuita e ogni artista selezionato riceverà un contributo di 2.200 euro, oltre a un rimborso economico a copertura di tutte le spese di viaggio e alloggio sostenute per partecipare sia alla residenza sia alle repliche delle produzioni. Il bando dell’iniziativa, promossa dal Centro Musica del Comune nell’ambito del progetto “Sonda music sharing” finanziato dalla legge musica 2/2018 Regione Emilia-Romagna, è online su www.musicplus.it. Le domande devono essere inviate entro lunedì 13 marzo. Info anche via mail a [email protected] e telefonicamente al numero 0592034810. ... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Tonight I watched a Greek Silent Film, Oi Apachides Ton Athinon (The Apaches of Athens) c 1930. Having never seen a Greek Silent Film before, I really didn't know what to expect. This is what I am enjoying so much about the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, I have been able to see films that I would never have the chance to see. This film was considered lost, and it was only found four years ago in France. I really enjoyed this film, and it was heightened by the music immensely. In particular, I loved the song when we first meet Titika. It was so beautifully shot, and the film and imagery of Athens c 1930 is amazing. I just wish the character Titika was in it a little more, I thought she was lovely. The lead actor Petros Epitropakis' performance grew on me throughout the film. I need to see more Greek Silent Film after seeing this one.
The above image is Petros Epitropakis and Mery Sagianou-Katseli in a scene when we first meet Titika, the sub- title above is a part of the song, it is not dialogue within the film itself. The film was directed by Dimitris Gaziadis
