Out-of-frames, or the lost immortals

The audio-video music series at the Palazzo Cini on Saturday afternoons continues this autumn.
Six films have been selected with sound tracks whose musical structure dominates the power of images: that is, in these films the story narrated dies out in its own sonority or its own silences.
The films are deemed to be lost “immortal” masterpieces, because of the fact they are so rarely seen, and “out of the frame” since they were not conceived to remain in frame but rather to soar into an ineffable and intangible sublime dimension. The films will be “revived” at the Palazzo Cini in a confidential atmosphere of homage to their fragile textuality and to their composers, artists and directors.
