FANTASIA

USA | 1940 | COLOR | DCP | 126' | ENGLISH

A celebration for children and fine adults, an intricate experiment, a glorious, unique moment for the American cinema. ‘Fantasia’, the film that Walt Disney envisioned as a fantasy collage wrapped in classical music, is a legendary film, a proper phantasmagoria of tone colors and ageless enthusiasm. But above all, for those who grew up with it, this film is the splendid moment when mind, ear and gaze are trained to beauty. You hope that such bliss will not expire in our days, you consider the honor of its screening; then feel the importance of 83 years that make it such a great part of collective and personal history.
