Bergamo Film Meeting, a key fixture on the Italian festival circuit for over 44 years, continues to draw audiences to Bergamo each March with a rich programme of screenings, talks and critical exchange; the 2026 edition, spanning the worlds of Abbas Kiarostami and Louis de Funès, reaffirms the festival as a space where different eras and cinematic languages coexist. Developed over the past decade with Studio Suq, the visual identity keeps cinema at its core by working on image and typography as complementary layers. For BFM44, the project draws on the graphic vitality of title sequences from de Funès’ films, transforming their colours, rhythm and lettering into a flexible system built around three variations of the BFM mark. Here, letterforms become performative elements that evoke the anticipation before a film begins, while motion, blur and dissolves recall the materiality of analogue cinema. The result is an identity that brings graphic design and cinema together in an organic way, conveying rhythm, visual memory and a subtle nostalgia for the aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s.
