Book presentation
La passione del reale Il documentario o la creazione del mondo
by Daniele Dottorini (ed. Mimesis)
2018 Monday, November 5th, La Compagnia, 6:00pm
The book is a crossing of the concept of "Reality" through the practices of contemporary documentary cinema, starting from the assumption that the new millennium takes up forcefully, transforming it, that "passion of reality" that has characterized the twentieth century's political and aesthetic history. It is in this scenario that the cinema of the real stands as an open laboratory that problematically plays a central concept. The first part of the volume consists of an analysis of the passion of the real in contemporary documentary cinema, while the two subsequent parts re-cross the concept through two central terms to understand the specificity of the cinema of reality, Time and Space. -

Landscape and Politics – Masterclass di Dominique Marchais
On the occasion of the retrospective "The Living Landscape: the Cinema of Dominique Marchais" at the 59th Festival dei Popoli.
“I discovered the countryside during my childhood: the landscapes and the habits, the cows and the poultry, the hunting, the rhythm of seasons dictated by agriculture. Then the landscape has changed: new people have arrived and new buildings have been built. In trying to face the grief for this changes I shoot in different parts of Europe, while the changes were taking place, in order to understand what happened to us.” (D. Marchais)
Moderator: Daniele Dottorini
