at National Gallery of Art and AFI Silver Theatre
A retrospective of the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975) following the 90th anniversary of his birth last year. Many are shown in newly struck or restored prints. Restoration work was performed by Cineteca di Bologna in conjunction with the filmmaker’s artistic collaborators. Poet, painter, intellectual, and prophetic philosopher who depicted, for example, the evils of state-supported consumerism, Pasolini’s ability to evoke deeper truths set his films apart during his short life. “It is only at our moment of death that our life, to that point undecipherable, ambiguous, suspended, acquires a meaning.” The exhibition is organized by Camilla Cormanni and Paola Ruggiero, of Cinecittà Luce, with Roberto Chiesi, of Fondo Pier Paolo Pasolini / Cineteca di Bologna. Pier Paolo Pasolini is produced in association with Cinecittà Luce, Rome, and Fondo Pier Paolo Pasolini / Cineteca di Bologna. Presented in association with the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. All copies in 35 mm with English subtitles realized by Cinecittà Luce, unless otherwise noted.
