Audiences will be able to discover seven feature length films and shorts from the 1910s restored by the Cineteca di Bologna and never before seen in France.

The festival will be an opportunity to rediscover masterpieces from the past: films by Federico Fellini and Italian animation classics made for young cinema goers (La gazza ladra by Giulio Gianini and Emanuele Luzzati, La gabbianella e il gatto by Enzo D’Alò), while Archivi di Cinema will present "L’arte della fuga" (the art of escape), a programme of films restored by the Cineteca di Bologna with subtitles provided by trainees at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, all seeking to respond to the dilemma: is it harder to escape than to stay?

A number of directors will present their films to Terra di Cinema audiences: Daniele Gaglianone, Pippo Delbono, Daniela De Felice, Giovanni Cioni, Vincenzo Marra, Penelope Bortoluzzi, among others. Terra di cinema is a partner of the Italian culture institute, Cinéma du Réel, Doc.it, the Cineteca di Bologna and Le Nouveau Latina.
