David Lynch takes us on an intimate journey through the formative years of his life. From his idyllic upbringing in small town America to the dark streets of Philadelphia, we follow Lynch as he traces the events that have helped to shape one of cinema’s most enigmatic directors. David Lynch the Art Life infuses Lynch’s own art, music and early films, shining a light into the dark corners of his unique world, giving audiences a better understanding of the man and the artist. As Lynch states “I think every time you do something, like a painting or whatever, you go with ideas and sometimes the past can conjure those ideas and color them, even if they’re new ideas, the past colors them.”
I’M NOT YOUR NEGRO. Nomination Oscar 2017. Premio del Pubblico Berlino 2017
I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of these three leaders, Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.

MAPPLETHORPE. Look at the Pictures
“Le fotografie sono meno importanti della vita che si sta vivendo”, diceva Mapplethorpe. Arriva in Italia e a Roma al Detour, grazie a Wanted Cinema Distribuzione, il documentario dedicato a Robert Mapplethorpe, il grande fotografo americano morto di Aids nel 1989. E il film di Baily e Barbato ha il merito di far arrivare allo spettatore questo amore per la vita e questa idea di fotografia che ha senso di esistere solo nel momento in cui cattura la vita che pulsa, qualunque sia la sua forma. “Look at the pictures” è un film molto fotografico, in cui le foto sono protagoniste e anche le inquadrature delle interviste sono concepite come set fotografici, in cui luce e composizione sono tutto. Proiezione in versione originale sottotitolata in italiano. // Iconic and controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe is profiled in this candid, often shocking documentary directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. Screening in english o.v. with Italian subtitles.
ROBERT FRANK. Don’t Blink > Doc d’arte
ULTIMA PROIEZIONE! “Quella folle sensazione in America, quando il sole picchia forte sulle strade e ti arriva la musica di un jukebox o quella di un funerale che passa. È questo che ha catturato Robert Frank nelle formidabili foto scattate durante il lungo viaggio attraverso qualcosa come quarantotto stati su una vecchia macchina di seconda mano”, Jack Kerouac. Robert Frank è tra i più innovativi fotografi americani e il regista iconoclasta di “Pull My Daisy” e “Cocksucker Blues”; ha rifiutato ricchezza e celebrità; un artista le cui simpatie erano per chi ha sempre lottato, che provava diffidenza per chi era schiavo delle proprie regole. // OPEN for ENGLISH
