May 3 – July 11, 2024
On the occasion of “Fare Cinema” 2024, the Italian Cultural Institute of Washington and AFI Silver present “Mondo Morricone”.
Maestro Ennio Morricone (1928–2020) produced over 500 movie soundtracks during his nearly 65-year career, being honored with two Academy Awards® and crafting genre-defining scores that would influence and inspire generations of film composers to come.
Inspired by Tornatore’s recent documentary Ennio, this 35-title series explores the breadth of Morricone’s career, from his best-known work perfecting the sound of the Spaghetti Western with Leone’s Dollars Trilogy to his celebrated Hollywood output and everything – and we mean everything – in between, including his first feature score in the rarely seen 1961 comedy The Fascist, restorations of seldom-screened films by Argento, Valerio Zurlini, and Giuliano Montaldo, a new 4K restoration of Days of Heaven, plus The Hateful Eight in glorious 70mm.
Special thanks to Cinecittà, Intramovies, Movietime and Unidis Jolly Films.
