On-line Consultation of the Catalogues
The catalogue of books and dissertations preserved in the Archive is part of the Cineteca library's online catalogue, while the catalogue of audiovisual documents is included in the database consultable through the online film booking service.
How to Access the Archive
The archive is open to the public from 10 am to 6.30 pm, Monday to Friday. The documents can be consulted only by prior appointment (telephone +39 051 219 5302 or send an e-mail), with the exception of the books, dissertations and audiovisual materials listed in the catalogue.
The Locations
Within the Cineteca's library, a reading and consultation room houses all the Pasolini Archive's printed documents, from press cuttings to dossiers, including theses, books and magazine collections. The photographs are preserved within the Photo Archive, also within the library, on the first floor. The audio and audiovisual documents - on VHS or DVD - are located within the library's Audiovisual Section, also on the first floor.
Creation of a Single Database
In spring 2004 work began on compiling a computer database for all the iconographic, audio and audiovisual material of the Pasolini Archive and for the descriptions of the card index organized by Laura Betti for the Pier Paolo Pasolini Association of Rome. The aim is to unite the international critical bibliography with the journalistic publications in a single tool. The unfinished database can be consulted at the Cineteca library by appointment.
