A warehouse of the imaginary, a library of vision, a labyrinth of dreams: this, and much more, is the Museo Nazionale del Cinema. From the magic lanterns to the rotoscopes, from the archive footages of the Torino relics at the time of Pastrone, “Occhi che videro” reconstructs an atmosphere of magic and allure of the visual utopias before the Lumière brothers that any technologic marvel will ever be able reach. But the film is first of all an homage to the founder of the Museum: Maria Adriana Prolo.
