DEUX DE LA VAGUE (TWO OF THE NEW WAVE) (90' France), a film by Antoine de Baecque and Emmanuel Laurent. In celebration of the fifty years since the birth of the New Wave, this documentary recalls the presentation in Cannes 1959 of The 400 Blows (Les Quatre cent coups) and the birth of Breathless (A bout de souffle), evoking the birth of two exemplary New Wave filmmakers: François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.

PIETRO GERMI, IL BRAVO, IL BELLO, IL CATTIVO (60’ Italy) by Claudio Bondí.
The career and personality of a filmmaker too often forgotten: Pietro Germi - seven of his films in Competition at the Festival de Cannes - received the Palme d'Or in 1966 for SIGNORE E SIGNORI (119' Italy). Struck for the theatrical release following the Festival, a print restored by Giuseppe Rotunno - Associazione Philip Morris Progetto Cinema will be screened.
