Martin Scorsese - World Cinema Project 2

As part of his foundation for the preservation of film heritage, the filmmaker Martin Scorsese founded the «World Cinema Project» in association with a number of well-known filmmakers around the world. Many of them have been in the trigon-film collection for thirty years. A natural partnership resulted. Several films from Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project have already released as single titles in the trigon-film edition. Now we are combining three films twice in two boxes with an accompanying book.

«World Cinema 2» presents the Moroccan film Alyam, Alyam by Ahmed El Maanouni, the Indonesian classic After the Curfew by Usmar Ismail and Jean-Pierre Dokongué-Pipa's unforgettable Muna Moto from Cameroon. All films have been carefully restored by Immagine Ritrovato in Bologna.
