Like every year, I missed. After months of work, tribulations, tears and blood, is presented to the public the new edition of the film festival that I work with for 8 years. And I, well I take care of a section, are not there. I am rather in typography, where we are with her friend Tiziana correcting the proofs of the exhibition catalog. Because you know, you have to adapt to small festivals do more things and roll up their sleeves, how do you feel those councilors say that they cut the funds with the excuse that the culture can not eat. I eat there to eat, well I pay the bills and the mortgage, but you see I am an exception. I'm coming out of the sow, sorry. The press conference, I said. While we try to understand how to set the pager with a graphic card, we remove commas and words change, on the other side of the city is presenting the twenty-second edition of the Trieste Film Festival. I know that this has nothing to do, but when I think that the festival has the same direction from what was born, Anna, and zero in the edition that ran the year 1989 can not help but remind me that I was doing that year in the higher. It is comforting to think that while I was studying, I dreamed I fell in love, etc.., In a distant city someone invented something that gives me twenty years to live. It's a little 'how to sit and do nothing someone else works for you. Has nothing to do, I know, but I wanted to say.
Well, said the festival. Of him we could say many things: the main window on the Italian film festival in Central and Eastern Europe; a container of 130 titles (or so) between feature-length documentaries, fiction, short films, a week of really hard to see movies in theaters Italian, Italian previews, discovered and rediscovered by newcomers to the great authors, the only Italian competition of documentaries dedicated to this geographic area, events, exhibitions, concerts, etc.. For me though, the festival has always been and always will be even more: an opportunity that came in mia vita quando davvero non me lo aspettavo; una rispettabilità di manifestazione conquistata a suon di scelte e conservata con le unghie e con i denti; migliaia di persone che affollano le sale; incontri con persone interessanti; un gruppo di lavoro che, pur nelle sue umanissime incomprensioni, riesce a resistere alle sferzate dei gusti altalenanti della politica, alla crisi economica, al richiamo di guadagni più facili; la passione, la voglia di fare, le ore piccole, la visione di un film che ti sorprende, la finestra aperti su altri mondi, così lontani eppure – almeno per una settimana – così vicini. Più di tutto, però, il festival è per me una delle cose più belle che mi sento di aver fatto nella mia life. Beautiful to me, of course. And this is what Wall of sound - Walls of Sound, an exhibition dedicated to the musical films of Central and Eastern European region. In other words, the excuse that I found to combine my personal passion for music with that for film. This year we got to the third edition, which closes a cycle, the first phase of the life of this strange creature, completely independent and free to the festival has allowed me to grow.
Back to the top. On Friday, the festival was presented in its entirety and complexity to the press and public. Obviously, the walls of the sound made its way out "public", but I was not there, I was at the printers, come sempre. Forse è stato meglio così, non è che la formula della conferenza stampa mi diverta poi tanto, non mi ci trovo granché a mio agio. Qui sulla rete, sì che mi ci ritrovo, per cui ho deciso che la mia presentazione di Muri del suono la faccio qui. Per cui, se volete, buona lettura ;)
(in origine, il pezzo che segue era stato scritto appositamente per l'oscilloscopio. Poi, l'ufficio stampa l'ha trovato utile per la cartella stampa e ne abbiamo steso una versione più breve e “ufficiale”. L'originale, però, è questo)
Rock, punk, techno, ma anche cori partigiani, musica etnica e popolare, sperimentale and an episode (which embodies the meaning of the selection) in the avant-garde music this year will be the ingredients of the third installment of the musical journey of "Walls of Sound". A journey from Poland Wolnosci ZEW - Beats of Freedom Wojciech Leszek Gnoiński and Slota, a documentary that tells the Polish rock from the 50s until the fall of communism through an impressive array of rare archival materials on main groups of the scene, commented on the British music journalist, but of Polish origin, Chris Salewicz. An extraordinary document that shows the role of rock in the creation and evolution of the movement of youth rebellion behind the Iron Curtain (Recommended for those who, last year, has had the opportunity to see How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin). Starting from the Rolling Stones Polish away in flood was Brian Jones, scroll through the images we see all the great musicians who have made the history of Polish music. Moving from the songwriting of Czeslaw Niemen, rock sound of Perfect and TSA, the new wave of Brygada Kryzys the rarefied Maanam up to the abrasive and theatrical Republika, we discover that a youth festival or a short drum loop were passed to the radio a way to secure a piece of freedom.
A program is devoted entirely to Romania, a country that is very close to me recently and which will be presented in Sangano MUZICA (Music in the blood) Alexandru Mavrodineanu, the story of a child victim of a star wheel that wants at all costs, and SHUKO THE COLLECTIVE PROJECT , Matei-Alexandru Mocanu, a trip to a musical experiment that has seen human and spoons together and decks, the best techno scene and the traditional music of the Romanian Ursaria, Gypsies trainers of bears. from Serbia two stories of personal achievement, a present that I love and which has its roots in the former Yugoslavia: ZVEZDA JE RODEN (A Star Is Born) Vanja Kovacevic is the story of a cover band the Decemberists whose drummer (Which is also the director and, I confess, I can not wait to know) has only a few months to learn to play the instrument before getting on stage and accepts the challenge with courage, and I MICA OKOLNE PRICE (Mica and stories about her) Milan Nikodijević, on the legendary singer Milica Ostojic aka Mica Mica or Trofrtaljka Davorika, Yugoslavia became popular in the '70s for its controversial lyrics from the songs and now a quiet middle-aged lady it is said with irony camera.
Set between Slovenia and Italy is set instead PESEM UPORA (Songs of the resistance) of Andraž Pöschl, we show how the values \u200b\u200bthat inspired choirs partisans of the Second World War are still alive today, even among new generations.
I can not wait to make a real immersion in the more contemporary experimental VINYL - Tales from the Vienna Underground (English AC Standen-Raz), a trip to the Austrian capital is light years away from stereotype of a city from the classical tradition and, at times, too conservative and exploration of the incredible landscape of the underground in Vienna. To close, a leap into the future with Es wird einmal GEWESEN Anca Miruna Lazarescu SEIN, so just having to admit I have a weakness. The author invites us all in the German church desecrated the documentary, in which echoes a composition by John Cage. No need to hurry, so will ring up to 2640 ... A reflection on the human perception of time, but also about the human condition in general, the essence of music and cinema. Because, as one of the promoters, "We do not have the time, we are on time, every time." To complete the survey, this year a special event in fiction: WSZYSTKO kocham CO - All That I Love , Jacek Borcuch, history of punk, love and growing set of Solidarity in Poland, presented in a film Sundance and the Polish candidate for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. A film that I love much (I can say too much, my section is not competitive, so ...) because it speaks of many firsts: the first drink, the first disappointment, the first rebellion, the first love ... period full of hope and dreams.
nine films, two of them in a special place at night, even for those who love the movies the small hours. 9 film about what it means to make music, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Dear Friends of the oscilloscope, if you change from Trieste Come to visit, we look (and hear) a film together;)
