The author was its founder and director, Maria Adriana Prolo, a film historian and visionary collector.
\n<\/span>Today, the Museum preserves a massive heritage of rare and precious materials, totaling nearly 3,260,000 works, including films, archival documents, photographs, equipment, art objects, posters, film memorabilia, volumes, and sound recordings. The three primary thematic pillars documented are the archaeology of cinema, photography, and film history.
\n<\/span>The Museum\u2019s Film Archive (<\/span>Cineteca<\/span><\/i>), specifically, began to take shape in 1942 when Maria Adriana Prolo purchased the first reel of film for 30 lire. The film archive currently holds over 33,000 titles on celluloid, representing a diverse range of eras and filmographies. This collection continues to grow through acquisitions, donations, and deposits, as well as an extensive restoration program launched in the 1990s, often in collaboration with other Italian and international film archives.
\n<\/span>Of immense historical value is the core collection of early nitrate prints and the silent film collection, which stands as a testament to Turin\u2019s cinema at the turn of the 20th century, when the city was one of the primary production hubs of Italian cinematography. Also noteworthy are over nine thousand film presentations, a collection of 16mm experimental cinema, and a section dedicated to small-gauge film (9.5mm, 16mm, 8mm, and Super8) focused on amateur and home movies. Finally, since 1953, the Museum has been an active member of FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives).[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=”color-855811″ type=”dotted” uncode_shortcode_id=”736453″ sep_color_type=”uncode-palette” el_height=”10″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”145216″]The film collection of the Fondo Bogino (Bogino Fund) illustrates the perspective of a Piedmontese amateur filmmaker through amateur films and private footage spanning three decades, from 1928 to 1958.
\n<\/span>The primary subject of his filming is the city of Turin which is portrayed with great technical skill through the expert use of panoramic and aerial shots. The same mastery of cinematic technique emerges in the footage of the city captured through a familiar and private lens. Here, the narrative of the city becomes a collection of images capable of restoring everyday time and space and, through the recording of major public events, making the presence of history visible within the 16mm frames.<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=”color-855811″ type=”dotted” uncode_shortcode_id=”131660″ sep_color_type=”uncode-palette” el_height=”10″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”11713″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”179240″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”148071″]Stefania Carta<\/strong><\/p>\n
