This coming summer, our graduate students Marta Cerreti (Italian), Sam Zawacki (Italian), Camille Roche (French), Verónica Ríos Savreda (Spanish and Portuguese), and Käthe Erichsen (Hebrew and Yiddish), with Professors Di Bianco and Wegenstein, will attend the 38th editionof Cinema Ritrovato, a prestigious international film festival that focuses on rare, recovered, and restored cinema, organized by the Film Archive, Cineteca di Bologna. From June 22 to 30, JHU’s cinephiles will attend screenings, lectures and encounters with directors, film historians, and other professionals of the film industry and preservation. They will meet daily for informal discussions on films in the outdoor agora of the Cineteca and, in the evening, gather in the magnificent Piazza Maggiore for the main event, a cine-concerto with live music. In the Fall 2024, in a CAMS Medinar event, the students who participate in the program will present on a cinematic gem they have discovered in Bologna, or an aspect of film culture that they learned about. This program is sponsored by the Italian Section, the Singleton Center, CAMS (Center for Advanced Media Studies), and AGHI (Alexander Grass Humanities Center).
