More of CABIRIA Found



Cabiria (1914) directed by Giovanni Pastrone, starring Bartolomeo Pagano, Lidia Quaranta, Umberto Mozzato, Italia Almirante-Manzini

Via ANSA: "Italy's greatest silent film epic Cabiria [1914] has been reconstructed from long-lost rushes recently found in a Turin basement.

"The reincarnated blockbuster, with just 5% missing, will have its premiere here on March 20, preceded by a video-presentation by Martin Scorsese.

"It will then travel to the Cannes Film Festival in May, the first stop in a world tour."

Along with Enrico Guazzoni's 1912 version of Quo Vadis, Giovanni Pastrone's Cabiria was the epic par excellence of the early 1910s. D.W. Griffith was inspired by the Pastrone film – which today makes for some impressive but very slow viewing – to create the Babylonian sequences for his 1916 socially conscious epic Intolerance. (That, in turn, inspired the builders of the Hollywood & Highland complex, where the Oscar ceremony's Kodak Theater is located.)
