The
sound film collection has been enriched by numerous
donations and acquisitions.
In the Sixties, the Luis Bogino Donation and the
Giacotto Fund allowed the gathering of numerous
amateurish films, documenting city life in Torino
between the Twenties and the Sixties. During the
same years, the 20th Century Fox donated to the
Museum's Film Library ninety-five American films
produced in the Fifties, among which Henry Koster's
"The Robe", the first cinemascope film,
"The Seven Year Itch" by Billy Wilder,
"How to Marry a Millionaire" by Jean Negulesco,
"The Diary of Anna Frank" by George Stevens,
"The Longest Day" by Ken Annakin, Gerd
Oswald, Bernhard Wicki, Andrew Marton, Darryl F.
Zanuck.
Also representing international cinema is the Anger
Fund, which gathers a selection of films of the
American avant-garde, and a donation by the Cinémathèque
Française that includes works from the Sixties
to the early Nineties by Jean Renoir, Claude Chabrol,
Alain Resnais, Pavel Lungin and Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Other donations from Glove Films International and
from Lux Films have enriched the film collection
with relevant works such as "Biruma no tategoto"
by Kon Ichikawa, "Dies Irae" by Carl Dreyer,
"Senso" by Luchino Visconti, "Il
Brigante di Tacca del Lupo" by Pietro Germi,
