"[...] Harry looks as if he may be about to say something but decides against it. They don’t need to declare their love. Actions are enough. Harry looks at Adam, glad he is not alone. Both of them glad to not be alone. Adam holds Harry tighter, comforted at last, cared for at last, no longer strangers."

— Andrew Haigh's script of All of us Strangers

I discovered something horrible today and I won't let it die due to language barrier issues.

"Deputy Marco Grimaldi of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra has submitted a parliamentary question to the minister of culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, denouncing an arson that occurred on 6 June at the National Cinema Library of the Experimental Centre for Cinematography (CSC) in Rome. The arson was particularly significant and caught deputy Grimaldi's attention, because it hit cell B4, destroying a significant amount of nitrate films from the 1930s and 1940s, part of the Italian cultural heritage. But, above all, Grimaldi accused the CSC of «trying to keep it a secret».

An official statement on CSC's website (published on June 12th), which reported details about the arson, would have been removed shortly after, creating additional concerns about how the event has been managed. «After the intervention of both the fire department and police, so far the only concerns have been: sending an email to employees so they could prohibit them from revealing the event to outsiders and signing a contract with a private security company in order to supervise the deposits», Grimaldi denounced.

CSC informed Domani that the fire would have damaged only a small portion of the entire film archive, so the reels should already have a copy each. Right now, the complete census of the works that have been destroyed has not yet been completed». Meanwhile, the causes of the fire remain uncertain and are currently under investigation. The president of the foundation, actor and director Sergio Castellitto, said that CSC had already raised concerns about the safety of the archive's conservation status, a matter which the CSC had promised to address with the help of the Ministry of Culture, like exploring the possibility of more suitable structures for the preservation and restoration of italian's film heritage. A source close to the Cineteca revealed instead to Domani that the investigation is trying to determine whether the causes of the fire were intentional or not and if the damaged films are the original reels, and not «copies of copies»."

I tried to translate it as good as I could, still, have the original source and some more:

🗣“Me ha costado encontrar mi voz, me ha costado mucho, creo que me tardé mucho en encontrarla, pero mi voz es hablar de mujeres, crecí entre mujeres violentadas, esos son mis temas, es hablar de violencia de género, derechos humanos y las mujeres”, dijo en el Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara.
