THE POETESS. A Saudi Woman Speaks Out
Proiezione in anteprima del videoclip di “Move”, seguita da una performance live di Rbsn. Ingresso con tessera. Gratuito per i soci detour. Diretto da Brando Pacitto, “Move” rappresenta il mito di Sisifo applicato all’umanità moderna e all’industria musicale. Spingere una roccia che per il suo stesso peso torna al punto di partenza, l’importanza delle transizioni e l’inganno della sottomissione sono i concetti che hanno ispirato in primis il brano (http://bit.ly/Move_song), realizzato insieme a Roberto Angelini presso Pyramid Produzioni, e successivamente il video scritto a quattro mani da RBSN e Brando Pacitto ed interpretato magistralmente da Valeria Bono e Chabeli Sastre Gonzalez.
THE POETESS. A Saudi Woman Speaks Out
In 2010, Saudi Arabian writer and activist Hissa Hilal did something unimaginable she starred in the Arab World’s biggest televised live poetry competition. In a society where the art of poetry is alive and well, ‘Million’s Poet’ is a hugely popular X-Factor style talent show. Storming through the rounds, and becoming progressively more political in her critique of religious extremism and her patriarchal society, Hilal became the first woman to reach the show’s final speaking with wit and lyricism on live tv to an audience of 70 million (Rotten tomatoes).
VISAGES VILLAGES by Agnès Varda. A masterpiece.
Agnès Varda goes on the road with street artist JR to create remarkable, moving portraits of the people they meet. Here’s a wonderful warmth and playful indirectness to this essay/road movie in the classic nouvelle vague spirit, conjuring a semi-accidental narrative in the midst of what is ostensibly a documentary. It is a collaboration between the 90-year-old director Agnès Varda and a 35-year-old French street artist who styles himself simply JR and always wears a hat and dark glasses, indoors and out – an opaque mannerism, almost a disguise, which Varda compares to her old comrade Jean-Luc Godard, and which irritates her a little bit.

IL SOLE SULLA PELLE
Stazione ferroviaria di Viareggio, 29 giugno 2009, ore 23:48. Un treno carico di GPL deraglia. Il gas fuoriesce, entra nelle abitazioni. Ore 23:50, uno due tre esplosioni. 32 persone muoiono nelle loro case. “Il sole sulla pelle” racconta la storia che non può essere dimenticata di chi è rimasto e lotta per avere giustizia e verità. Un documentario che esplora con la nostra umana curiosità il rapporto che ognuno di noi ha con il dolore, le grandi paure e i grandi sogni. Fino a che punto possiamo capire e condividere il dolore degli altri? Questo dramma ci ha scosso la coscienza e ha distrutto le nostre sicurezze. Poteva accadere ovunque. Poteva accadere a chiunque. Noi siamo figli e siamo padri. Queste storie ci appartengono.
Docufilm tra i finalisti ai Nastri d’Argento 2019. In sala saranno presenti il regista Massimo Bondielli e l’autore/produttore Gino Martella, insieme a i familiari dell’Associazione Il Mondo Che Vorrei Onlus Viareggio.
BASILEUS – The Kings School
The documentary, set in the Federico Fellini media school in the San Basilio district in Rome, tells about the training courses for a group of teenagers and what it means to be teachers in uncommon contexts such as those in the suburban schools. A journey into class life through choral voices and faces that show us an incredibly dense world to discover, exuding the vitality of teenagers, hopes, dreams, but also burdened with difficulties, fears and uncertainty towards the future.In this microcosm, the strong and peculiar relation between teachers and pupils emerges, all different in their identities and personalities: the first engaged in educating, inventing methods, tools, actions, within a didactic scheme based not only on formal models of teaching but, above all, deeply intertwined with neighborhood life situations and real and individual experiences experienced by students; the latter inclined to represent themselves in a scene that is not fiction but a mosaic of fragments of raw reality, true life, rebellion, resistance, expressed with the language of the word and body, often instinctive and grammatically incorrect but always incredibly vital.
DONNA HARAWAY Story Telling for Earthly Survival
“We need other kinds of stories,” Donna Haraway implores as she faces the camera. “Storying otherwise,” in Haraway’s expression, is an apt characterization of the work of this paradigm-shifting thinker, whose contributions to feminist studies of science and technology resist and even rebel against hegemonic ways of thinking and living. But what form should such stories take? What might they sound or feel like? To watch Fabrizio Terranova’s Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival (2016) is to know that the filmmaker took Haraway’s imperative to heart. Both subtle and explicit filmic techniques mimic, comment on, and evoke the rhythms that sustain Haraway as a thinker, a storyteller, and a human being. In experimenting with different kinds of storytelling—bending the genre of documentary by fusing the intimate everyday with the playfully surreal—Terranova brings one of the most evocative social theorists to life and demonstrates the supple, transformative nature of storytelling itself.
(From “The Society for Cultural Anthropology” SCA web site) .”Donna Haraway is brilliant, passionate, original and a leading intellectual force of our times. This portrait offers an intimate glimpse into the style and imagination of this charismatic thinker.”. Anna Tsing.
