ARTISTS: Duncan Campbell, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, Renzo Martens, Deimantas Narkevicius, Hito Steyerl
And a work by Rossella Biscotti
Recounting, translating, sharing, reflecting, developing, transforming, revealing, disclosing, enchating. A film cycle, analyses through the works of five internationally acclaimed artists the way in which documentary film tackles the narrative device, develops the construction of stories and the transmission of history and reality.
A film cycle is a two days festival including film screenings and artist’s talk that focuses on works by Duncan Campbell, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, Renzo Martens, Deimantas Narkevicius, Hito Steyerl.
Each session is articulated in three parts: the screening of the artist’s film, a Q&A session with the public and
the projection of a film or extract from a film of a filmmaker that the invited artist indicates as a reference for his/her work. La cinematografia e' l'arma piu' forte by Rossella Biscotti will be screened as an intermezzo before the beginning of each session, introducing the audience to the ambiguities of the political and economic investment in the cultural environment.
Through the works of the selected artists A film cycle fosters the audience to question the way in which memory is conveyed, how we represent history and construct the documental, how we re-write our past and present diverse readings of our traces, how we protect and transmit the singularity that every single life represents vis Ă vis the great economic, social, political changes which we are witnessing today.
