Synopsis

On the occasion of 42nd edition of the Turin Film Festival (November 22 – 30, 2024) directed by Julius Base, Streeen! is pleased to present a series dedicated to the most important and long-running film festival in the city of Turin.

Born in 1982 as International Youth Cinema Festival from the minds of Gianni Rondolino e Ansano Giannarelli, Torino Film Festival It has always presented itself as a metropolitan festival linked to the critical development of cinematic language, becoming over the years an important point of reference for national and international cinema.

Our catalog is full of works by authors who have appeared at various editions of the Turin festival. Streeen!, always close to the TFF – and al National Museum of Cinema in Turin, thanks to the common Turin foundations and the importance given to independent cinema, has therefore decided to celebrate the new edition of the festival through this selection, to give the opportunity to rediscover and celebrate the most representative Italian works present in our catalogue and to make them available and consultable from now on in a single dedicated section.

In this collection of works, presented here on the side in chronological order, we host works that have won, over the years, in different sections of the festival, such as We are not like James Bond by Mario Balsamo, or Rata Nece Biti by Daniele Gaglianone, together with works by well-known directors such as Wilma Labate, or directors who have been at the festival for a long time with one film per year, such as Armando Ceste together with others who have been here even just once, with the work that is often their most significant.

The selection hosts works of different nature, from experimental films such as the works of the couple Lionello – Tannoia, the legendary Now I know Snow by Gianfranco Barberi or Uppercut Sonata by Richi Ferrero (the most “dated” work of our selection: Festival Cinema Giovani 1983), to the biopics of known or unknown characters such as the important work on Octavio Mai di Gianni Minerba, the film about Gipo Farassino di Alessandro Castelletto or the documentary of Marilena Moretti su Alberto Signetto, up to collective films like Walls & Borders, 5 hours of screenings for over 70 short films, and much, much more.

An unmissable selection that, almost unintentionally, also recounts the historical evolution of the festival itself, as well as the cinematic languages ​​and themes proposed by independent Italian cinema on display in Turin for over 40 years.
