A year of cinema in Torino

The City of Torino celebrates the cinema with a program full of initiatives, in which all the traditional cinema events of the territory will be included, and that will involve all the cultural institutions of Torino with the aim to create cinematographic contaminations in every field, from publishing to music, from contemporary art to theatre, developing on different themes like innovation, technology, multimedia, education, training, accessibility.

Starting from January, the cinema wave will also involve the look of the city 'the places of cinema'. String visual and iconographic impact supports will be set up in strategic points of the city, to give an immersive and suggestive welcome in a "cinema friendly" city. In this way, 20 significant places in the cinema field like squares and buildings will be the stages to retrace the history of Torino's cinema through its twenty most important movies. Passers-by, with the support of paper and digital maps or with tourists guides, will be able to visit the city locations and the 'masters' who made their movies there.

The high point of 'Torino cinema city 2020' will be the summer, when the city will be enlivened by important events like an enthusiastic festival for the celebration of San Giovanni, cinema and museum's night openings, animations, public events and much more.

Throughout the year there will be national previews, multimedia installations created by renowned artists, masterclasses in the temple hall of Mole Antonelliana, training sessions for enthusiasts and professionals, meetings and entertainment for children and young people, celebrations like the "White night of cinema" (in July 2020), which anticipates by a week the two celebrations with special guests to celebrate the birthday of the museum and the film commission, musical and theatrical performances, exceptional guests at the Torino Film Festival, CinemAmbiente, Lovers Film Festival and in other festivals.

The cinema wil be a big part also in the city's cultural planning. In fact there will be many OFF events during the years, in occasion of the main events of the city: the New Year's in the square, the Torino Jazz Festival, the Book Fair, MITO SettembreMusica, Artissima, Terra Madre and many other initiatives.
