Recounting, translating, sharing, reflecting, developing, transforming, revealing, disclosing, enchating. A film cycle, analyses through the works of five internationally acclaimed artists the way in which documentary film tackles the narrative device, develops the construction of stories and the transmission of history and reality.

A film cycle is a two days festival including film screenings and artist’s talk that focuses on works by Duncan Campbell, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, Renzo Martens, Deimantas Narkevicius, Hito Steyerl.
Each session is articulated in three parts: the screening of the artist’s film, a Q&A session with the public and the projection of a film or extract from a film of a filmmaker that the invited artist indicates as a reference for his/her work. La cinematografia e' l'arma piu' forte by Rossella Biscotti will be screened as an intermezzo before the beginning of each session, introducing the audience to the ambiguities of the political and economic investment in the cultural environment.

Through the works of the selected artists A film cycle fosters the audience to question the way in which memory is conveyed, how we represent history and construct the documental, how we re-write our past and present diverse readings of our traces, how we protect and transmit the singularity that every single life represents vis à vis the great economic, social, political changes which we are witnessing today.

Intermezzo di Rossella Biscotti

Cinema Farnese Persol | Campo de’ Fiori, 56, Roma | Ingresso libero


Recounting, translating, sharing, reflecting, developing, transforming, revealing, disclosing, enchating. A film cycle, analizza il modo in cui il documentario affronta il mezzo narrativo, la costruzione delle storie e la trasmissione della storia e della realtà, attraverso i lavori di cinque acclamati artisti internazionali.

A film cycle è un mini festival di proiezioni di film e talk con gli artisti Duncan Campbell, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, Renzo Martens, Deimantas Narkevicius, Hito Steyerl. Ogni sessione è divisa in tre parti: la proiezione di un film dell’artista, un momento di confronto tra l’artista e il pubblico presente in sala, la proiezione di un film di un filmaker che è riconosciuto dall’artista come un punto di riferimento per il proprio lavoro. Prima dell’inizio di ogni film, sarà proiettato La cinematografia e' l'arma piu' forte di Rossella Biscotti, un’opera che spinge a riflettere sull’ambiguità dell’investimento politico ed economico in campo culturale.

Attraverso i lavori degli artisti selezionati, A film cycle ci spinge a domandarci a cosa affidare la memoria, come raccontare la storia, come riscriviamo il nostro passato e presentiamo diverse letture delle nostre tracce, come proteggiamo e trasmettiamo la singolarità di ogni vita in rapporto ai grandi cambiamenti economici, sociali e politici di cui siamo oggi testimoni.
