A Matera incontro per presentare il VI Meeting Internazionale del Cinema Indipendente

Il giorno 7 marzo alle ore 10:00 presso l’ex Ospedale di San Rocco, a Matera, i rappresentanti di Sensi Contemporanei, Regione Basilicata; Lucana Film Commission e Agis, incontreranno il pubblico locale per presentare e condividere il percorso conoscitivo e fruitivo del programma del VI Meeting Internazionale del Cinema Indipendente, iniziativa che avrà luogo a Matera dal 15 al 19 marzo 2017.

Un alba sopra la città di Matera

La finalità della giornata è quella di diffondere i temi del Meeting a tutte le categorie della filiera cinematografica del territorio lucano interessate ad essere protagoniste partecipi, e non passive di focus, convegni, proiezioni e attività di mercato. A tal fine i sostenitori della kermesse cinematografica hanno proposto ad AGPCI di organizzare un incontro preparatorio del VI Meeting per offrire un ampio glossario di questioni come una nuova legge del cinema, la digitalizzazione, il cinema a scuola, la valorizzazione delle location cinematografiche e tante altre voci che costellano i mutamenti in corso della settima arte e dell'audiovisivo internazionale che inglobano anche la Basilicata.

L’incontro è dedicato a: spettatori, pubblico generalista e specializzato, produttori, maestranze cinematografiche di ogni tipo, organizzatori di festival e operatori dell'industria culturale, giornalisti, blogger, produttori, esercenti, cineasti, attori, filmmakers, imprese del settore culturale e cinematografico, associazioni di categoria, sindaci, amministratori e gestori di contenitori culturali, semplici cittadini, studenti.

Sassi di Matera

Nel 2016 il Meeting, alla sua quinta edizione, si è svolto per la prima volta al Sud, a Matera con buona partecipazione di pubblico e ampio gradimento degli addetti ai lavori convenuti. Il successo dell'evento, ha indotto AGPCI a riproporre la città dei Sassi come sede della VI edizione dell'incontro internazionale chiedendo nuovamente la co-progettazione e il sostegno del Programma Sensi Contemporanei, della Regione Basilicata, della Lucana Film Commission, con la collaborazione dell’Agis.

Il cinema indipendente, categoria di definizione ampia ma sempre più in voga grazie alla semplificazione delle tecniche e all'abbassamento dei costi, ha negli anni sviluppato e affrontato concretamente molte tematiche in ambito audiovisivo ed è con obiettivi di sviluppo della filiera e di ricadute formative nel territorio lucano, elementi fondativi del Programma Sensi Contemporanei, che l’Associazione di produttori (AGPCI) intende proporre anche quest’anno un Meeting internazionale dedicato al cinema indipendente e alle tematiche ad esso connessi e più in generale all’audiovisivo..

7 Days - 7 Women: Interview with Actress Sabrina Impacciatore

Photo by Rossella Vetrano On Day 6 of our series, 7 Days - 7 Women, in which we are profiling seven strong, talented women working as filmmakers, writers or visual artists, we talk with actress Sabrina Impacciatore about the diversity of her roles. Whether she's playing a devoted mother trying to protect her child, Jesus Christ's "Veronica" in Mel Gibson's controversial film, "Passion of the Christ" or a young woman coming of age, Impacciatore escapes into the life and mind of each character she takes on, sometimes so deeply that she believes she is actually them. It's a fine line between reality and fiction, but she treads it carefully and anyone watching her performance benefits from her emotional connection to the character that she becomes. I spoke with Impacciatore at the 2010 Open Roads: New Italian Film series in New York City. We talked about her lifelong dream of becoming an actress. She also gave me some insight into the diff

Anna Foglietta: Actress and Activist with Old School Elegance

One look at actress Anna Foglietta in her any of her roles, and the Golden Age of Italian cinema comes to mind. Among Italy’s most sought-after actresses today, Foglietta brings to the table a classic eloquence of yesterday while representing Italy’s modern woman. Born in Rome in 1979, Foglietta began her career in 2005 with a role in the RAI television series La squadra . Her character Agent Anna De Luca had a two-year run on the series as she was transitioning to cinema with Paolo Virzì’s 2006 ensemble project 4-4-2- Il gioco più bello del mondo . Since then, she has become one of Italy’s most diverse actresses, transforming herself into interesting, layered characters for comedies and dramas alike. Aside from a small part in Anton Corbijn’s 2010 film The American starring George Clooney, Foglietta’s work began reaching mainstream American audiences in 2015. As Elisa in Edoardo Leo’s 2015 comedy Noi e la Giulia , Foglietta showed her funny side playing a goofball pregn

The Rochester Global Short Film Series

Now in its fourth year, the Rochester Global Short Film Series is a celebration of world cinema. The first edition was held in Rochester, New York in March of 2020 just before the world paused for the global pandemic. We pride ourselves in providing a platform for the voices and perspectives of independent filmmakers. Home of Eastman Kodak and nicknamed "The World's Image Center", Rochester has a long history of supporting the performing arts. It is the birthplace of numerous renowned artists including Oscar-winning actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Oscar-nominated actor John Lithgow, Oscar-nominated actor Robert Forster, actress Kristen Wiig and soprano Renée Fleming. Silent film star Louise Brooks spent the last years of her life in Rochester writing her memoir, “Lulu in Hollywood.” Known for her independent spirit and displeasure with pretentiousness, she is one of the influences behind the event. The other influence is Susan B. Anthony, a women's rights activist wh

Nicoletta Braschi and Roberto Benigni.. What cinema dreams are made of

The Toronto International Film Festival is wrapping up its retrospective of the cinematic collaboration of husband and wife team, Nicoletta Braschi and Roberto Benigni. Over the last few days, the couple have participated in discussions, Q & A sessions and have introduced several of their films. Today, I attended a screening of "La voce della luna" (The voice of the moon). It was Federico Fellini's last film and is a wonderful tribute to the director's signature poetic madness. The film gave Benigni the opportunity to team up with fellow beloved comic, Paolo Villaggio, and the two created a truly unforgettable adventure. Today's screening began with an introduction by Benigni. The moments leading up to his introduction were noticeably serious and somewhat tense. Benigni's publicist and TIFF security staunchly guarded his privacy. There was no interaction and no photos were allowed. Guided by his entourage, he walked quickly from the Green Room to th

The Comedy and Tragedy of a Neapolitan Genius

On the occasion of Italy's mega-broadcast of numerous films by its beloved, Totò, we take a look at the life and career of Napoli's comic genius. His birth name was Antonio De Curtis, but the world knows him best as Totò, the Neapolitan comedian whose distinctive face and nutty ways made him one of the most popular Italian film stars in history. Totò was born on February 15, 1898 in Rione Sanità, a poor area of Naples. As a boy, he had a passion for sports. Legend has it that a nose injury caused by a football or boxing match gave him his signature look that played a major role in the personality of his characters. In 1917, Totò started acting locally in Napoli's comedia dell'arte and wrote poetry in his dialect. In the early '20s, he headed to Rome. Upon his arrival in the Eternal City, he enjoyed performing i theaters working in "avanspettacolo," a vaudeville show that combined music, ballet and comedy. He mastered the genre and in the '30s, foun
