The IFI is delighted to present a selection of films from The World Cinema Project, a programme of The Film Foundation, founded by Martin Scorsese, which is dedicated to protecting and preserving film history. By working in partnership with archives and studios, the foundation has helped to restore over 1,000 films, which are made accessible to the public through festivals, museums, and educational institutions around the world. In the words of Scorsese, ‘The World Cinema Project was created to help underserved countries preserve their cinematic treasures. We want to help strengthen and support the work of international archives and provide a resource for those countries lacking the archival and technical facilities to do the work themselves.’ The project has restored films from 30 different countries representing the rich diversity of world cinema, work which chimes with the efforts of the IFI Irish Film Archive to preserve Ireland’s moving image heritage for future generations.
Film restorations provided by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata.
