In 1971, the collective of the journal \u201cChe fare<\/em>\u201d \u2014 directed by Francesco Leonetti and Arnaldo Pomodoro \u2014 produced the film Processo politico<\/em>, with the aim of analyzing the socio-political context of the 1969\u20131970 biennium in Italy, denouncing the death of the anarchist Giuseppe Pinelli, which occurred at the Milan Police Headquarters during an interrogation following the Piazza Fontana bombing, and documenting the defamation trial brought by Commissioner Luigi Calabresi against the weekly newspaper \u201cLotta Continua,\u201d which had publicly accused him of being responsible for Pinelli\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Combining genres and temporal perspectives, documentary and fiction, the film reflects the cultural and linguistic experimentalism characteristic of \u201cChe fare<\/em>\u201d, and stands as a significant example of that \u201cmilitant cinema\u201d which, between the 1960s and 1970s, became an important tool of counter-information.<\/p>\n

In 2024, on the occasion of the centenary of Leonetti\u2019s birth, the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation promoted the restoration and digitization of the film. The work on the original reels, carried out by the Home Movies Foundation \u2013 National Family Film Archive, now returns to public view a valuable testimony to that intense season of cultural and political engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
