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..

Federico Fellini: A Look into the Life and Career of an Icon

A Fellini family portrait “The term became a common word to describe something on the surface you can say is bizarre or strange, but actually is really like a painter working on a film,” said Martin Scorsese when asked to define “Felliniesque,” an adjective inspired by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The oldest of three children, Federico Fellini was born in the seaside town of Rimini in 1920. His father was a traveling salesman, so his mother was left to do the bulk of raising the children. One can argue that Fellini was born for his destiny. “You could tell that even as a child, he was different and unique. He was very intelligent, well above average. He was always the one to organize things, direct the others, make up games. He could control the other kids with just a look, said Fellini’s sister, Maddalena, in an interview with journalist Gideon Bachmann. Not only was Fellini directing the children, but he was also putting on shows and charging ...

The Timeless Talent of Stefania Sandrelli

On screen since the tender age of 14, she has captivated audiences for more than 50 years with a compelling combination of strength and vulnerability. She achieved stardom at just 14 years old playing the angelic cousin of a love-struck Marcello Mastroianni in Pietro Germi’s “Divorce Italian Style.” More than half a century later, she is still going strong and remains one of Italy’s most esteemed actors. Stefania Sandrelli was born on June 5, 1946, in Viareggio in the province of Lucca in northern Italy. As a child, she studied music and dance. Then in 1960, she won a beauty pageant and was featured on the cover of Le Ore magazine. Her purity captivated the country and shortly thereafter, movie offers began pouring in. Just one year later, she made her cinema debut in three feature films: Mario Sequi’s Gioventù di notte , Luciano Salce’s The Fascist, and Pietro Germi’s Divorce Italian Style . She instantly became a star and before long was a key figure in Italy’s legend...

The Anthology Film Archives Presents: The Italian Connection: Poliziotteschi and Other Italo-Crime Films of the 1960s and '70's

June 19 – June 29 Influenced both by 1960s political cinema and Italian crime novels, as well as by French noir and American cop movies like "Dirty Harry" and "The French Connection," many Italian filmmakers in the late-60s and early-70s gradually moved away from the spaghetti western genre, trading lone cowboys for ‘bad’ cops and the rough frontier of the American west for the mean streets of modern Italy. Just as they had with their westerns, they reinvented the borrowed genre with their inimitable eye for style and filled their stories with the kidnappings, heists, vigilante justice, and brutal violence that suffused this turbulent moment in post-boom 1970s Italy. The undercurrent of fatalism and cynicism in these uncompromising movies is eerily reminiscent of the state of discontent in Italy today. ‘The Italian Connection’ showcases the diversity and innovation found in the genre, from the gangster noir of Fernando Di Leo’s "Caliber 9" ...

Gianfranco Rosi to premiere 'Sotto le nuvole' at Venice Film Fest, exploring Naples' history

Documentary filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi will premiere his much-anticipated latest film at the upcoming 82nd Venice International Film Festival , which runs August 27 - Sept. 6. "Sotto le nuvole" (Below the Clouds) takes a deep dive into the rich history and culture of Naples and the area surrounding Mount Vesuvius. There has not been much information revealed but so far, we know that the film will focus on themes similar to those explored by Rosi in his previous works, such as the examination of Roman culture in "Sacro GRA" (2013) and Lampedusa's refugee crisis in "Fuocoammare" (2016). The film's synopsis reads, “The land around Vesuvius is a vast palimpsest. On the surface, underground and even beneath the sea of the modern city of Naples and its surroundings, the memory of history is etched into tunnels, walls and fissures, the remains of women, children and men — statues, buried cities. Only thin layers separate contemporary and ancient life, an...
