Hi all, In the spirit of finding out how to get things, I’m trying to screen Dal polo all’equatore (1986) and/or Pays Barbare (2013) by Gianikian and Ricci-Lucchi but am having difficulty. Here are the steps I have taken. If anyone has any additional contacts or suggestions, or screened in the last year or two, please let me know.
First, Keith Ullrich, who was involved with Pasadena Filmforum, did the score (with Charles Anderson) on “Dal polo all’equatore” (From the Pole to the Equator). In part I wish to show it as part of Filmforum’s 50th anniversary screenings with Keith in person. He thought a print once was in the MoMA Circulating library but the Circulating Library is not accessible. Canyon Cinema also once had a print but doesn’t anymore. I had been in touch with Chema Gonzalez Martinez of Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. They did a series in 2023 and Chema said that they hdid restorations of multiple films. https://www.museoreinasofia.es/en/activity/yervant-gianikian-and-angela-ricci-lucchi all in conjunction with their last film on “Frente de Guernica” But the email I received from Chema in late 2025 said “I am afraid I cannot help you on this matter and you may address your request directly to Yervant and Lucrezia Lerro ([email protected]).” I have written Yervant multiple times over the past couple of years and he has never replied. I have written Lucrezia Lerro twice with no reply. Does anyone know a better email or perhaps phone number for her? Fondazione Prada screened the last film in 2024. https://www.fondazioneprada.org/project/studio-yervant-gianikian/?lang=en I have emailed them at their general email with no reply. [email protected] Does anyone have a name or direct email for someone there? Thank you!
