Three appointments with films and seminars recounting the passionate relationship between fashion and the silver screen
curated by Mario Sesti
Wednesday 4 February, 21.00
8 ½
by Federico Fellini, Italy, 1963, 138? – with Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimeè, Sandra Milo
costumes: Piero Gherardi
Auditorium – free admittance
Following the screening, seminar with Pupi Avati moderated by Mario Sesti
The favourite film of great directors – Bergman, Scorsese, Polanski – cinema that questions itself and becomes fiction whist declaring its inability to recount life and the sense of things (as the great literature of the 20th Century did), an interplay of camera angles and contrasting lighting that the photography of Gianni Di Venanzo presents as an untiring dance of bodies and gazes.
In what is perhaps the most celebrated auteur film of all time, the costumes – all variations on black and white – project an infinite chequerboard in all directions, as if the ambiguity of the world lay in the incalculable infinity of moves we each make in the festival of life.
Speakers
Pupi Avati director, script writer and producer
Anna Mattirolo director of MAXXI Arte
