Curated by Marco Bertozzi Corpo Sensibile examines the confines between video art and documentary cinema - a porous boundary where the seemingly real becomes mingled with film cuts, tears and strip slips to produce original impressions and glimpses that cast into question the apparently realistic image. The works by young authors probe this mysterious relationship. Snippets of found footage, poems written in light, visual snatches that come close to an aesthetic experience push the boundaries to the edge of aesthetic experience where reality must be constantly re-invented and documentary cinema becomes the contrary of paradigmatic certainty. Corpo sensibile also aims to reconstruct a common generational arena. The artists involved all operate in an international dimension. Experience of residencies and collaborative periods has provided an impetus leading them to develop a hybrid poetic and contemporary art language. As a result, they are equally at home at film f...

Curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne There are currently more than 60 millions of refugees on the globe, people who left their home country in order to escape war, persecution and murder, but also poverty and the lack of any perspectives. People in Europe speak currently of the “refugee crisis”, as if the streams of refugees would come by coincidence. In fact, Europe and the old European colonial superpowers , eg Great Britain and France, and on a smaller scale Spain and Portugal prepared the fertile soil for all current conflicts, wars and civil wars in Middle East, Asia and Africa. When the colonial powers left the stage, after World War II other imperial powers – like USA, Sovjetunion, but currently also China – were replacing them and continued again the powergames at the expenses of the local people anywhere. They were feeding the current local Islam dominated powers in Middle East, for instance, and their main tool to maintain and expand power, the ter...

marechiarofilm in collaborazione con la Casa del Cinema a cura di Angela Prudenzi e Mario Sesti Usa e getta non è un convegno né una rassegna. Piuttosto tre giorni di incontri aperti e libere riflessioni su che cos’è il found footage e su come si sono evoluti nel corso del tempo il suo l’utilizzo e la relativa teorizzazione. Il found footage, nell’accezione comune, indica la trasformazione e la reinterpretazio- ne di qualsiasi tipo di immagine già utilizzata, sia essa stata scoperta casualmente o sele- zionata, recuperata-riciclata allo scopo di realizzare opere inedite. Nasce come pratica di ri-significazione di immagini preesistenti, talvolta dal sapore satirico e politico, o violento e provocatorio come spesso nel cinema delle avanguardie. Che provenga da archivi o da film hollywoodiani, dagli home movies e dai documentari, dal cinegiornale o dallo spot televisivo, ogni immagine può essere presa, smontata, rimontata e risignificata. L’aspett...
