1996 - "CULTURE OF THE SEAS"

CATTOLICA -Mystfest - Les Myst�res de Paris

Each summer, since a long time now, Cattolica is turned into a little capital of thriller, riddle and mystery.
Therefore, all fans of complicated more or less imaginary, more or less virtual and fantastic plots will have the chance to meet once again within the framework of the XVII MystFest. Once again in the last ten days of June dozens of crime and mystery films (all totally new and produced in the most different countries all over the world) will be shown, along with precious and unfindable movies, to a vast intelligent public made up of enthusiastic lovers and neophytes of the genre eager to find always new stimulus to their intelligence and new emotions, a public made up of eager and yet disciplined worshippers of the most diversified artistic forms and performances.
As a matter of fact, although MystFest is based mainly on a programme devoted to films and movies, it involves also other forms of artistic expressions and the most different figures such as scholars, scientists, poets, philosophers, actors and film directors, who have become party to the project because attracted by the intriguing mixture of true and false which surrounds every mystery and in which every myth is entangled and enhanced. MystFest is a polymorphic festival which takes place in the most different natural and architectonic settings (cinemas and amphitheatres, squares and galleries, the cultural centre and the brand new theatre) where every year the devoted public enjoys the pleasure of a peculiar festival offered by a small and yet great, friendly and mysterious place.
