Following the screenings of 8½ by Federico Fellini during the month of May, in July the Arena will open with a series about cinema that talks about itself, about its dreams, its disappointments, its own life as it runs parallel to real life. Eight films by very different authors, from Blake Edwards to the team of Boris, from Michel Hazanavicius to Quentin Tarantino, from François Truffaut to Robert Altman as well as Giuseppe Tornatore and Ben Stiller, each projecting onto the screen a very personal idea of cinema, but all of them permeated with the same feeling: that cinema is the greatest passion of all and the audience is invited to share it, to make it their own. If there is a “genre” that directly addresses the spectator and opens all its doors to him, inviting him to enter where he usually cannot, it is cinema at the cinema.
