New York is the American cinema, the set par excellence chosen by thousands of directors who have moulded the image of contemporary man on the model of the Big Apple.  Over the years the city has spawned every kind of film from gangster movies to musicals, from thrillers to sci-fi and from straight drama to romantic comedies.  Skyscrapers, streets and nightclubs provide the background to tragedies and love stories, to underhand trafficking amongst gangsters, corrupt police officers and dropouts of every shape and size - a human universe that has found in the contradictions of the great metropolis both the horizon of success and the inferno of defeat.  This retrospective will take audiences on a full immersion in the city of New York seen through the eyes of the greatest American movie directors, in a carousel of gripping masterpieces in which the city plays the leading role.  We will be travelling on a journey of exploration to the very heart of the contemporary world, visiting its every corner with a host of unforgettable characters for our guides.

Our special gratitude goes to the Cineteca di Bologna for its kind cooperation.
Our gratitude for loaning copies of the films goes to: Bim Distribuzione, British Film Institute, Buena Vista International, Cineteca di Bologna, Cineteca del Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino, Finnish National Audiovisual Archive, Lucky Red Distribuzione, Nexo Digital, Park Circus and Universal Pictures Italia.
