Plot


“…And Counting!” (Letter Three) is a postmortem of Two Letters, and a journey into the present state of theatre, culture (and funding). Forced to fund his Two Letters theatre project, using his entire RRSP account, having hit a wall in the Italian-Canadian community in Toronto (community leaders and media) and in the mainstream (arts councils and media), and playing to small audiences all over the city of Toronto, while the theatre community and colleagues ran for cover or were missing in action, the actor/writer recounts his journey in hell and his encounters with those who create that hell, realizing, in the end, that it may be better to work for an arts council in Canada than to be an artist, and that as an artist he may be worth more dead than alive.

Trama

“…And Counting!” (Letter Three) rappresenta un’analisi retrospettiva delle opere Two Letters, ed un viaggio nello stato attuale del teatro, della cultura e dei finanziamenti. Costretto a finanziare il suo progetto teatrale Two Letters attingendo interamente ai propri risparmi pensionistici, avendo battuto la testa contro il muro nel tentativo di sensibilizzare la comunita’ italocanadese di Toronto (sia gli esponenti di spicco che i media) nonche’ del mainstream (enti artistici e media) ed esibendosi davanti a piccoli pubblici in tutta Toronto, mentre la comunita’ teatrale ed i colleghi fuggivano od erano assenti, l’attore/scrittore Nardi racconta il proprio viaggio all’inferno ed i suoi incontri con coloro che hanno creato tale inferno, rendendosi conto che, alla fine, potrebbe essere meglio lavorare per un ente artistico in Canada piuttosto che essere un artista vero e proprio, e che come artista potrebbe essere meglio per lui essere morto piuttosto che vivo.

ARType. Archetypes of Contemporary Video Art

share...Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterEmail this to someone
English

Plot

Background
The evolution of video languages and the increasingly sophisticated techniques for video manipulation now impose a systematic rethinking about the ways in which this complex group of factors influences the expressive forms of contemporary art experimentation. In order to understand this phenomenon, since 2006 a group of Italian researchers from the universities of Bologna, Padua and Venice began to collect the most recent national video art production.

The proposed project
The project is called ARType. It results from the desire of exploring some archetypes of contemporary imaginary as primary elements of human culture seen through the eye of art. Indeed, the neologism the project’s title is inspired to is the combination of art and archetypes, in the belief that the experimental language of video art provides a privileged access to the complexity of anthropological structures in today’s world.

Rationale
The idea of archetype, that transversally embraces the entire history of human knowledge, from the Classical tradition through the nineteenth-century humanities, has acquired an even larger symbolic value in the world of art and a social relevance revealed by the artist’s intervention. Indeed, the archetypal forms of human existence silently and quietly shape the realms of ordinary life; they affect our habits, our attitudes, our small daily gestures. And all of this happens because archetypes are original forms – arché/týpos –, ancestral displays of symbolic imagination, expressions of the collective unconscious rooted in the innermost spaces of the self and ceaselessly repeating themselves.
The destiny of art is breaking such monotonous sequence. Artists have always been the interpreters
of a “vision” – this is also true of the wide range of original experimenters who work with the language of video, the expressive means that inherently aspires to subvert the ordinary mechanisms
of visual addiction.

Works selected
The curators – Guido Bartorelli, Paolo Granata, Silvia Grandi, Fabiola Naldi, Stefania Portinari, professors at the universities of Bologna, Padua and Venice – have selected the works of thirty-six Italian contemporary artists and have referred them to six archetypes: Ritual, Play, Territory, Gesture, Journey, the Self.
The thirty-six works selected aim at tracing an anthropological map of contemporary imaginary by revealing some traits of the visual unconscious, evoking the primary experiences of human existence in order to discover the irresistible fascination of archetypes in a world that is crowded with images.

Artists
Rebecca Agnes, Karin Andersen, Sergia Avveduti, Bianco Valente, Basmati, Riccardo Benassi, Filippo Berta, Davide Bertocchi, Botto & Bruno, Enrico Bressan, Alessandra Caccia, Stefano Cagol, Silvia Camporesi, T-Yong Chung, Luca Coclite, Audrey Coïaniz, Michael Fliri, Michela Formenti, Aldo Giannotti & Markus Hofer, Kensuke Koike, Giovanni Kronenberg, Marcantonio Lunardi, Marco Morandi, Virginia Mori, Bruno Muzzolini, Massimiliano Nazzi, Christian Niccoli, Gabriele Picco, Giovanna Ricotta, Donato Sansone, Angelo Sarleti, Natalia Saurin, Danilo Torre, Virgilio Villoresi, Debora Vrizzi, Diego Zuelli.

Plot


The film is set in today’s Italy, overloaded with public debt and struggling to emerge from recession with a jobless rate of more than 40 percent among non-studying 15-24-year-olds. The story focuses on 36-year-old Luca Medici from Bari, in the southeastern region of Puglia, a husband and father who, like many Italians, has lived for years beyond his means. After years of unexpected success as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman and lavish spending on high-tech gadgets, he suddenly loses his job and is haunted by motley creditors. Medici’s family life is strained, with a wife who is also about to lose her job and a nine-year-old son with whom he has difficulty relating. So he decides to gamble everything with a dream holiday aimed at patching up family differences.

Trama

Se sarai promosso con tutti dieci papà ti regala una vacanza da sogno: è questa la promessa che Checco fa al figlio Nicolò. Fin qui tutto bene, il problema è che Checco, venditore di aspirapolvere in piena crisi sia con il fatturato che con la moglie, non può permettersi di regalare al figlio nemmeno un giorno al mare. E quando Nicolò riceve la pagella perfetta, la promessa va mantenuta. Fortuna che a Checco non manca l’ottimismo; partito con la speranza, delusa, di vendere qualche aspirapolvere ai suoi parenti in Molise, si ritrova a casa di Zoe, una ricchissima ragazza che ha un figlio proprio dell’età di Nicolò. Nasce un’amicizia tra i due bambini e Zoe “adotta” Checco e Nicolò e li fa entrare nel suo mondo: inviti a party esclusivi, bagni in piscine fantastiche e ancora yacht, cavalli, campi da golf, serate a Portofino.

Carlo Verdone

 

Carlo Verdone

Son of critic and film history professor Mario Verdone, Carlo Verdone obtained a diploma in film directing from the Experimental Film Centre. After making his bones in the cabaret, he notched up considerable success in the TV programme “Non Stop“ (1979). The following year, he made his directorial debut with “Fun is Beautiful”. In “Bianco, rosso e Verdone” (1981) he proved his mastery, meticulously developing his characters. “Damned the Day I Met You” (1992) is an almost quintessential portrayal of a love story between two neurotics whereas “Let’s Not Keep in Touch” (1994) successfully mocks the tearjerker TV trend. In the last ten years, Verdone has explored the anguishes and neurosis of the Italian man.

Trama

Dopo aver mescolato la realtà con la finzione in Una famiglia perfetta, Paolo Genovese va a scomodare il padre della psicanalisi in Tutta colpa di Freud, storia di un padre alle prese con tre figli decisamente particolari. E’ la storia di un analista alle prese con tre casi disperati: una libraia che si innamora di un ladro di libri; una lesbica che decide di diventare etero; e una diciottenne che perde la testa per un cinquantenne. Ma il vero caso disperato sarà quello del povero analista, se calcolate che le tre pazienti sono le sue tre adorate figlie.

Trama

Miele narra la storia di Irene, una ragazza di trent’anni che ha deciso di aiutare le persone che soffrono: malati terminali che vogliono abbreviare l’agonia, persone le cui sofferenze intaccano la dignità di essere umano. Un giorno a richiedere il suo servizio è un settantenne in buona salute, che ritiene semplicemente di aver vissuto abbastanza. L’incontro metterà in discussione le convinzioni di Irene e la coinvolgerà in un dialogo serrato lungo il quale la relazione tra i due sembrerà infittirsi di sottintesi e ambiguità affettive.

Plot


Naples, 1973. Peppino Sansone, a sensitive but clumsy nine-year-old boy, lives in a dysfunctional and bizarre family. His mother Rosaria has fallen prey to depression and isolates herself in anguished silence, after finding out that her husband cheats on her using his blue FIAT 850 as an alcove for his trysts.

Peppino’s father tries to distract him from the family troubles by giving him three chicks to raise as pets. The chicks, however, eventually die.

Peppino’s aunt and uncle, Titina and Salvatore, provide a respite of sorts by taking him to nightclub parties and feminist rallies. However, Peppino’s greatest friend is his cousin Gennaro, an odd character who thinks he is Superman.

When Gennaro suddenly dies after being run over by a bus, Peppino uses his imagination to bring Gennaro back to live as a superhero and life coach. Thanks to Gennaro’s ‘advice,’ Peppino is able to face his daily troubles and confront the complicated world of grown-ups.

Trama

Nella Napoli del 1973, Peppino Sansone, un sensibile bambino di 9 anni impacciato ed occhialuto, vive in una famiglia alquanto bizzarra e sopra le righe.

Sua madre Rosaria è entrata in depressione e si è chiusa in un angosciante silenzio, dopo aver scoperto i tradimenti del marito commerciante, che utilizza come alcova una Fiat 850 azzurra. Il padre cerca di distrarre il figlio dalle vicende familiari regalandogli tre pulcini da allevare come animali da compagnia, che però faranno una brutta fine.

A distrarre Peppino ci pensano i giovani zii hippie, Salvatore e Titina, che lo coinvolgono in feste in discoteca e manifestazioni femministe. Ma il più grande amico di Peppino è suo cugino Gennaro, un tipo strano che si crede Superman.

Quando il cugino muore improvvisamente investito da un autobus, Peppino, grazie alla sua fantasia, lo riporta in vita nel suo immaginario, come supereroe e maestro di vita. Grazie ai suoi ‘consigli’, Peppino affronta le vicissitudini quotidiane e si avvicina al complicato mondo degli adulti.

Trama

Un studio de télévision. Le jour, on tourne une série et le soir, les locaux sont livrés au personnel d’une entreprise de nettoyage, pour l’essentiel, des immigrés. Un soir, la porte du réduit où sont rangées les caméras est restée ouverte et Dilip est pris de l’envie soudaine d’en essayer une. Petit à petit l’idée fait son chemin: pourquoi ne pas utiliser le studio la nuit pour enregistrer des clips, des messages, que d’autres immigrés pourront envoyer à leurs familles?

Trama

Paolo Bressan trascorre le sue giornate da Gustino, gestore di un’osteria in un piccolo paese vicino a Gorizia. Un quarantenne alla deriva, cinico e misantropo, professionista del gomito alzato ma anche della menzogna compulsiva, che lavora di malavoglia in una mensa per anziani e insegue senza successo l’idea di riconquistare Stefania, la sua ex moglie. Ma le cose cambiano con l’entrata in scena di Zoran, un quindicenne occhialuto lasciatogli in “eredità” da una lontana parente slovena, che parla in modo strano e sembra anche un po’ ritardato. Scopre così di essere zio, e la cosa lo disgusta. Solo quando si accorge che suo nipote Zoran è un vero fenomeno a lanciare le freccette, si ricrede. Ogni anno si svolgono i campionati mondiali di freccette con un montepremi di 60mila euro e Paolo non ha nessuna intenzione di lasciarsi scappare questa opportunità. Grazie a Zoran comincia a pensare di poter fare finalmente centro nella sua vita… Ci riuscirà? Una cosa è certa: Paolo s’è svegliato da un letargo che durava da sempre e ha iniziato a inseguire un riscatto personale. Ma Paolo l’inaffidabile, Paolo l’insopportabile, Paolo l’alcolista, prima di vincere qualsiasi gara di freccette, sarà in grado di sconfiggere se stesso?

Il film è ambientato nel 2047: il nostro pianeta è governato cinicamente da un governo confederato centrale. Ryan, agente dei ribelli di GreenWar, viene inviato in missione da Sponge, capo dell’organizzazione, allo scopo di raccogliere delle prove con cui inchiodare l’ala militare del governo ai suoi crimini efferati. Sulla sua strada troverà però il temibile colonnello Asimov, coadiuvato dal maggiore Anderson e da alcuni mercenari senza scrupoli guidati da Lobo, e la sua missione si trasformerà presto in una intima resa dei conti, che riguarda molto da vicino il suo tormentato passato. Dalla propria parte avrà soilo Tua, una sopravvissuta e forse una mutante, così innocente da poter solo essere sognata, così sanguinaria da far credere all’inferno.

Plot


Mamma Stella is on edge. As if she hadn’t been through enough trouble with her daughter Rosa Maria, who left her husband! Now Costantino, her son, has left the priesthood. Afraid to be the talk of the village, she relegates him to a distant lighthouse belonging to the family. Costantino does not remain far from the maddening town inhabitants for long. It does not take long indeed before all the local (or even distant) outcasts flock together there: Magnolia, a retired escort; Arturo, Rosa Maria’s estranged husband; Valbona, a lesbian; Rosa Maria herself; and, to crown it all, two eccentric workers accompanied by a little girl… After a period of chaos, this small world gradually discovers that unity makes strength.

Un ex prete, don Costantino, viene confinato dalla madre perché non si sappia che si è spretato. Mamma Stella, infatti, ha già un altro scandalo da affrontare: sua figlia Rosa Maria ha lasciato il marito, Arturo, ed è scappata con un misterioso amante. Il vecchio faro in disuso – che appartiene alla famiglia di Costantino e che dovrebbe garantirgli l’isolamento -, attira invece gente come un magnete, trasformandosi via via in un refugium peccatorum. Dopo l’ex prete arriva una ex prostituta, Magnolia. Poi il cognato cornuto, Arturo. Infine una stravagante ditta di ristrutturazioni chiamata per riparare il tetto del faro. In un gioco di rimandi e agnizioni, istruzioni e ristrutturazioni i protagonisti di questa storia disegneranno il loro futuro.

Virgil Oldman è un sessantenne antiquario e battitore d’aste di elevata professionalità. Conduce una vita tanto lussuosa quanto solitaria. Non ha mai avuto una donna al suo fianco e tutta la sua passione è rivolta all’arte. Fino a quando riceve un incarico telefonico da Claire, giovane erede di una ricca famiglia. La ragazza, che vuole venga fatta una valutazione degli oggetti preziosi che arredano la sua villa e di cui vuole liberarsi, non si presenta mai agli appuntamenti. Virgil viene così attratto da questa committente nascosta fino al punto di scoprire il suo segreto. Intanto, nel corso dei sopralluoghi, trova nei sotterranei dell’abitazione parti di un meccanismo che si rivela essere di produzione molto antica.

Gabriele Pignotta won at the Festival of Castrocaro as a new contender. He started writing TV programs for RAI and Mediaset with the staff of Japino-Carrà and then wrote and hosted two programs on Sky. Gabriele was also an actor on Saturday evenings on RAI UNO television with Pippo Baudo. Eventually he founded his own theatrical company and wrote and produced plays that were successfully received in all theatres. It is thanks to his professional relationship with Marco Belardi, successful film producer with Lotus, that Gabriele realized his first feature film Ti sposo ma non troppo (I’ll Marry You, but Not Too Much), based on his play of the same name. During this same year he endorsed the screenplay of Carlo Verdone’s movie Sotto una Buona Stella (Under a Good Star), a blockbuster of the season. Gabriele is presently writing Aurelio and Luigi De Laurentis’ new Christmas movie.

Plot


A narcissistic artist, Guido, who rambles around his studio in the company of a bevy of attractive young women, arouses the jealousy and anger of his devoted wife, Serena, who is rapidly tiring of her husband’s peccadillos. Thanks to the help of a gallery owner, an attractive middle-aged woman, Guido gets an important commission for an art show in Milan, which somehow goes disastrously wrong. When his wife reveals that she is taking the kids off to a feminist retreat in France, Guido’s life turns upside down and forces him to confront all those things that have limited his art. Our self-engaged artist finds out that life can indeed provide just retributions of a surprising kind.

From among the record-breaking works of this film director and scriptwriter one recalls La scuola (1995, which won the David di Donatello award for Best Film and was adapted for the theater in 2014 and directed by Daniele Luchetti) and Mio fratello è figlio unico (2007, which won four David di Donatello awards for Best Actor, Best Sets and Decorations, Best Editing and Best Supporting Actress.)

Trama

1974, Roma. Guido è un artista che vorrebbe essere d’avanguardia, ma si sente intrappolato in una famiglia troppo borghese e invadente. Serena, sua moglie, non ama l’arte, ma ama molto l’artista e infatti lo “invade”. I loro figli, Dario e Paolo, 10 e 5 anni, sono i testimoni involontari della loro irresistibile attrazione erotica, dei loro disastri, dei tradimenti, delle loro eterne trattative amorose. Tra happenings artistici, colpi di testa, film in super 8, pigre vacanze, design e confessioni, il film racconta gli anni felici – ma che sembravano infelici – di una famiglia che, provando ad essere più libera, si ritrova in una prigione senza vie di fuga. Riusciranno a salvarsi?

Plot


What’s a girl to do? If you’re married on a small island in southern Italy, your husband is going to call the shots. If you are an unmarried woman living at home with your parents, your mother will be doing that. If you are the town prostitute, living with the town’s disdain puts a damper on your freedom to do as you please. It couldn’t hurt to have a couple of friends to die for…The friendship between Gilda, Olivia and Crocetta is a product of pragmatism and a big secret. They’ve agreed to keep this secret among them, although it is not always easy for a prostitute, an old maid and a naïve housewife to see eye to eye on everything!

Trama

Il film racconta una storia che si svolge d’estate su un’isoletta del sud Italia. In questa realtà, divisa tra modernità e retrogrado tradizionalismo, si snodano le vite di tre donne, che malgrado le notevoli diversità si trovano costrette a far fronte comune per salvarsi la pelle. Gilda, una bellezza verace venuta dal continente, che da anni sbarca il lunario facendo il mestiere più antico del mondo; Olivia, una giovane moglie da manuale, bella ed elegante che suscita le invidie delle donne per la sua vita idilliaca accanto a un bel marito; Crocetta, il brutto anatroccolo che si mormora porti iella a qualsiasi sventurato le si avvicini e tenti di conquistarla. A complicare la loro vita arriva un fiero quanto brusco commissario di polizia, Nico Malachia. Il commissario intuisce che le tre nascondono un segreto…

Plot


This is the story of Arturo. As child, Arturo is particularly attentive and sensitive to the “criminal oddities” he is used to witnessing every day in his city. In his humorous tone, he tells us how he found himself caught in a double endeavor: he juggles hilariously between his love for beautiful and unattainable Flora, with whom he is madly in love, and a series of Mafia incidents that have struck his life and exploded into the bloody mass murderer season of the ’80s and the ’90s. Over the years, all the characters lead somewhat of a double life consisting of birthday parties, love affairs and career choices on one hand, and of bombing attacks, threats, murder victims and silence on the other. Both as a child and as an adult, Arturo’s challenge is dealing with Palermo’s split reality: finding the right answers to fulfill his heart’s desires as well as his sense of civic responsibility.

Trama

Il film narra l’educazione sentimentale e civile di un bambino, Arturo, che nasce a Palermo lo stesso giorno in cui Vito Ciancimino, mafioso di rango, è stato eletto sindaco. E’ una storia d’amore che racconta i tentativi di Arturo di conquistare il cuore della sua amata Flora, una compagna di banco di cui si è invaghito alle elementari che vede come una principessa. Attraverso questa tenera ma divertente storia d’amore, il pubblico verrà coinvolto emotivamente negli eventi più tragici della nostra storia recente. Arturo infatti è un ragazzo come tanti altri dell’Italia degli anni ’70 ma, a differenza dei suoi coetanei del nord, è costretto a fare i conti con le infiltrazioni e le azioni criminose della mafia nella sua città. La consapevolezza di Arturo cresce anno dopo anno, ma nessuno lo ascolta. Palermo ha altro a cui pensare.
