Il Cinema Ritrovato (Cinema Rediscovered) is a festival dedicated to the rediscovery of rare and little-known films with a particular focus on cinema origins and the silent movie period. It is organised every summer by the Cineteca di Bologna, Italy, and is one of the world's major festivals of film restoration. It was founded in 1986 as a three-day event but during the time it became bigger. Peter von Bagh is the current artistic director of the festival.[1][2][3]
