We would like to thank Luca
Giuliani, curator with Patrizia Marchesoni, Luca Caracristi and
Roberta Tait, for sharing with us the main information related to this Italian exhibition dedicated to cinematographic
representation of the Great War on the big screen. Visitors can walk and watch along the
special layout developed in the 300 meter Black Gallery location in Trento. All this compelling project was feasible thanks to the
cooperation among Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin, Cineteca del Friuli,
Cineteca Nazionale of Rome, Istituto Luce, Rai Storia and hosted in this very special
location of Museo Storico del Trentino. More than 70 titles coming from Washington, Belgrade, Paris
and Wien are here available (some
previously unpublished). The introduction of the brochure states: "The years of the Great War (1914-1918) coincide with the birth of cinematographic
language. To propose an exhibition that examines the relationship between World
War I and cinematography also means to tackle the more disquieting aspects of
modernity. This approach has generated authoritative historical interpretations
of the last decades, and the layout of this exhibition illustrates the outcomes
based on a set of comparisons. Different images, themes and points of view are
set side by side in analogy or in contrast so as to highlight the areas of
ambiguity and of contradiction typical of history and its representations. At the core of this tale the exhibition has left the protagonists, namely
the men, the individuals who interacted with the masses and with other
individuals, with the destruction and with the technology."
More information and a precious overview on the titles can be
found in the exhition's *.PDF leaflet that you can view and/or download here.
