This event includes a screening and discussion of the film, “Like the grave of a stone, like the cradle of a star” (Nell’insonnia di avere in sorte la luce) which is a journey between Italy and Ireland, an interdisciplinary atlas of different languages and places that display the possibilities of contemporary cinema as a place of endless exploration. This movie (filmed mostly in Ireland, in archaeological sites of interest as Hill of Tara or Glendalough) is an attempt to present an idea of cinema before the invention of cinema itself, connecting the mythical Ogham alphabet (engraved on the surface of the stones) with the practice of experimental cinema (cameraless movies) and also with Italian avant-garde artists like Antonio Burri, Paolo Gioli, Corrado Costa, Emilio Villa, Stefano Scodanibbio, Osvaldo Licini. By doing that, we tried to create a map of meanings, inspired by Aby Warburg’s “Mnemosyne Atlas”.
In English and Italian.
