As a seasoned film enthusiast with years of international exposure under my belt, I am thrilled about Carlo Chatrian’s appointment as director of Italy’s National Film Museum in Turin. The Mole Antonelliana has always been a beacon for cinema lovers, and I can’t wait to delve into its treasure trove of movie memorabilia, from magic lanterns to Federico Fellini’s iconic scarf.
Previously serving as the head of both the Locarno and Berlin Film Festivals, Carlo Chatrian has now taken on the position as director of Italy’s National Movie Museum located in Turin.
The iconic Mole Antonelliana’s domed tower, a well-known symbol of the Northern city, is home to a cinematic sanctuary filled with movie memorabilia, such as ancient magic lanterns and Federico Fellini’s red scarf and correspondence. It also boasts a modern glass elevator that offers panoramic views of Turin and the surrounding Alps in Piedmont.
Under Domenico De Gaetano’s leadership, which boosted the national museum’s international reputation, Chatrian is set to take over as director, serving a five-year term.
Chatrian had to resign from his position as the artistic director of Berlin’s festival last year, as the cultural organization responsible for the event in Berlin, known as Kulturveranstaltungen des Bundes in Berlin (KBB), declared that it would not renew his contract after the festival concludes in 2024.
As a cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to embark on this fresh journey with fervor! I can hardly contain my excitement to collaborate with the museum team and aid their skills and expertise by channeling my years of international experience and the unwavering passion that has fueled me all along into the service of this institution, which I hold dear.
The Turin Museum not only houses its collections but also acts as the central body for three distinct film festivals: the Torino Film Festival, Italy’s premier independent cinema event; the eco-focused CinemAmbiente; and the Lovers Film Festival, Europe’s first festival dedicated to LGBTQ+ films, making a significant impact on the global film scene.
The museum additionally operates Cinema Massimo, a three-screen theater, houses a film restoration lab, and participates in TorinoFilmLab, a well-known talent nurturing platform offering various programs on a global scale.
Among the past directors of the National Film Museum in Turin is the current artistic director of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera.
