Lo schermo dell'arte 10 years

Lo schermo dell’arte Film Festival celebrates its ten years of activity in the field of the moving image with the publication of the volume Lo schermo dell’arte 10 Years Between Contemporary Art and Cinema.

The book is structured into several sections: a conversation between the founders of Lo schermo dell’arte Massimo Carotti, Luca Dini and Silvia Lucchesi takes stock of the reasons that led to its foundation and of the possible future developments of the project. Then, the original papers of fifteen Italian and foreign curators: Leonardo Bigazzi, Adam Budak, Barbara Casavecchia, Stefano Collicelli Cagol, Alfredo Cramerotti, Eva Fabbris, Solange Farkas, Silvana Fiorese, Omar Kholeif, Valeria Mancinelli, Sarah Perks, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Marco Senaldi, Francesca Giulia Tavanti, and Desdemona Ventroni who, reflecting on recurring contents in films and videos presented by the festival during these years, address social, political and ethical issues of the time we live in as well as aspects of the encounter between cinema and contemporary art, like the relation between the artwork, the device, the exhibition space and the movie theatre. The book ends with the index and data sheets of more than 270 films screened between 2008 and 2018.

The book has been realised thanks to the contribution of the Fondazione CR Firenze/OAC Osservatorio arti contemporanee.
