#VisioniDAutore
Meeting with Elisabetta Sgarbi
for the presentation of his latest film I NOMI DEL SIGNOR SULČIČ
Elisabetta Sgarbi returns to the big screen with a new film that – after an intense search – intertwines a plot of fiction with a memory tale, and the reconstruction of a story with the intimate investigation of characters. A fictional film that digs into a collective and shared past, a fascinating and tenacious challenge to oblivion.
Presented at the last Torino Film Festival in a successful world premiere and greeted with attention by critics, I nomi del signor Sulcic arrives in Italian theatres, distributed by Istituto Luce Cinecittà.
ELISABETTA SGARBI
Elisabetta Sgarbi founded and directs La Nave di Teseo publisher.
She has been for 20 years the Artistic Director of the international festival La Milanesiana, that she founded. Since 1999 he has been directing and producing his cinematographic works.

TANGO Y NADA MAS
Tango Rouge Company

Ticketitalia and Ticketone (at Spoleto: Box 25 – Piazza della Vittoria)

Tango has crossed the dust of the streets before plunging into the sequins of the stage. Tango bursts into children’s games, before upsetting the dynamics of seduction of adults.
While populating the Olympus of the arts, Tango never abandons the universe of entertainment. It expresses passion, drama and well-being.
This is the synthesis of the Argentine tango show Tango Y Nada Mas: a story about the growth of tango, in tango and for tango.
YANINA QUINONES and NERI PILIU
Yanina Valeria Quiñones and Neri Luciano Piliù have been dancing together since dal 2006, after having been professionally trained at the Accademia de Estilos de Tango Argentino (ACETA) following famous milongueros and maestros including Carlos and RosaPerez, Pupi Castello, Gloria and Eduardo Arquimbau, Gerardo Portalea, Toto Faraldo, Milena Plebs.
They classified first at both the Tango Salón and Tango Escenario at the Buenos Aires Tango Championship in 2006/7, and at the 2007 Baradero Festival; runner-ups at the 2008 Tango Salon championship.

The 191st Spoleto Carnival has arrived. The carnival floats will parade on Sunday 24 February (from Via San Carlo to Piazza Garibaldi through the downtown) and Sunday 3 March (from Via Flaminia to the centro civico San Nicolò).

Eleven invited young artists will challenge two juries and create a no-budget short movie in 23 hours.
The inspiration comes from the immediatist vision of Futurism and aims at stimulating creativity through impulsive, irrational and improvised acts. The artists will work on subjects that will be assigned through random selection on the first night and will then have 23 hours’ time to finally present their works.
Rules:
– the film must have no budget
– it must be conceived, created and shown in 23 hours and will have to be destroyed thereafter
– it must be visible as a film normally is, by an audience sitting in the dark looking at a screen
– its length must not exceed 6′ 33″ and eleven frames
– some of the scenes must be shot in the alleys in downtown Spoleto
– after its vision the film will be “forgotten”, canceled, made unique and unrepeatable through cathartic destruction; the methods for such destruction will be up to the director’s sensitiveness
Schedule:
Saturday 16 March at 17.00, sound waves will allow for unpredictable resonances and we will be introduced by music and Futurist poems.
At 18.00, the 11 participants will provide a film subject in two lines on a piece of paper that they’ll insert in a drawing hat. After accurately shaking the hat to ensure mixing of the subjects, the participants will randomly pick up their own assigned subject and will be ready to start working for the next 23 hours.
The day after, Sunday 17 March at 18.00, they will give their works to the juries; the eleven films will be screened and at the end, the juries will declare the winner and assign the prize.
The whole thing will take place at Sala Monterosso in Villa Redenta.
It will be a peculiar artistic experience, to create an unprecedented involvement between artist and spectator, expressive provocation and intellectual curiosity, to make the use of the artistic experimentation more enthralling, immediate and popular.
Please register not any later than 4 March 2019: artevia.spoleto@gmail.com
——————————————
Outside the routine of the professional artist, the GENIUS is ready to be awakened by an immediate, creative action, irrational, totally granted, without a seat belt. This is the futurist belief.
Soluble cinema is instantaneous cinema that dissolves. A film to conceive, act, shoot, edit and see in 24 hours. And immediately be destroyed. A small tribute to the Futurist cinema manifesto.
“Immediatism” means following the impulsive action and showing the true essence of genius. Applying immediate creative action to a complex and time-consuming technical practice like cinema is difficult. It requires elasticity, improvisation, freedom, ability, will, tenacity, preparation and courage. The analogy, the synthesis, the speed, the generosity and everything that gives life to the creative spark is the main ingredient of the process.
Futurism is and will always be a slap in the face of the judge, given by those who dream of doing.
Federico “The Dog” Bonelli
