Article by: Maria Cagnazzo

Translation by: Cristina Di Bona

Nowadays, most of people communicate through digital media, which compulsively transmit information and show every kind of situation. Sensationalism is more heterogeneous: news is no longer represented by an important event concerning society and even a daily situation can have a relevant social role. The Belgian collective Leo Gabin has made a social experiment with No panic baby, editing web videos. This film puts together different moments, creating a collage to describe a new human being. Between the various videos, the story of the road trip of two young people is told.

Article by: Marco De Bartolomeo

Translation by: Federica Franzosi

In Brazil the start of the FIFA world cup is just minutes away and halfway around the world, in Beirut, people are getting ready for the big event. Fans are in a frenzy, flags are fluttering on the balconies and the voice of the Arabian commentator marks the passing of time.

Everything is ready when a strange interference jams the signal. Football fans runt to the roves to take the antennas down and then reassemble them, rotating, inclining, trying to get them in the right direction but to no avail. TV frequencies seem to be shielded.

“The Cured” by David Freyne

Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Giuseppe Battaglia

Translation by: Federica Franzosi

Even though this film falls within the After Hours section and the internet treats it as if it was a scary movie, The Cured has very little in common with the horror genre. Some might even say that classifying it as a horror film would be as hard as making the Mole Antonelliana wear Melissa Satta’s sheath dress, because many details of the movie lie outside of the tradition of the genre and a lot of attention was dedicated to aspects that do not fall in the style. Sure, the zombie epidemic is there, but it is also totally under control.  Continua la lettura di “The Cured” by David Freyne →

Article by: Gianluca Tana

Translation by: Laura Cocco

In this thirthy-fifth edition of Torino Film Festival, there are many deserving and interesting movies, and we don’t have to forget the renovated movie Notte Italiana. This movie was released in 1987, thirty years ago, and it highlights two essential beginnings: on the one hand, the production was directed by Nanni Moretti (it was the first movie made by Sacher Film). On the other hand, the dear departed Carlo Mazzacurati, as the director. Mazzacurati worked as an active director from the 80s to 2014, when he died. He is well-known to have described the troubled situation in the Italian North-East areas close to the new millennium. In this first movie, we can see him dealing with his territories, the foggy delta of the River Po and his swampy countryside.

After six weeks of hard work, the kids will have to demonstrate their abilities in front of a jury, that will then choose “the best public speaker of the 93rd”.

1920s. Next to a lake, in the middle of nowhere in the Irish countryside, stands an old crumbling mansion, where twins Rachel and Edward live. The lives of the twins, entangled in a morbid relationship, are constantly plagued by a curse that has been lingering over their family for generations. Every night, ominous forces that inhabit the bottom of the lake invade their house, and compel them to meticulously follow some rules: always be in bed by midnight, never let strangers inside the house, and never try to escape in order not to jeopardize the other sibling’s life.
