Soundscreen Film Festival

Ravenna, Italy


Un nuovo festival di CINEMA dedicato ai film che hanno come protagonista la MUSICA.

Cinema e Musica sono arti da sempre in stretta relazione tra loro. Parliamo di film di generi diversi, anche seguendo le ibridazioni tipiche della contemporaneità: come colonna sonora sempre meno accessoria e sempre più identità del film; ma anche e soprattutto come tema principale della narrazione: dalla fiction ai biopic, dai documentari al genere musical, con particolare attenzione alle opere di ricerca e di sperimentazione dei nuovi talenti del cinema internazionale.

CONCORSO INTERNAZIONALE LUNGHI: evento principale del Festival, presenterà in anteprima nazionale i migliori film internazionali per ricerca artistica e tematica nei quali la Musica sia elemento fondamentale, tra fiction, documentari, musical e biopic.

CONCORSO INTERNAZIONALE CORTI:
i migliori film corti per ricerca artistica e tematica nei quali la Musica sia elemento fondamentale.

EVENTI SPECIALI: presenterà le novità dei grandi autori del cinema e dei protagonisti della scena musicale, in anteprima nazionale.

EVENTO SATELLITE: il festival propone ogni anno sonorizzazioni dal vivo di grandi classici del cinema realizzate dai migliori gruppi musicali contemporanei.

PANORAMA sulle nuove tendenze del cinema negli ultimi 10 anni, con film inediti in Italia.

IDENTITÀ DEL SOUNDSCREEN
Un altro tipo di cultura è possibile: intellettuale senza essere accademica, popolare senza essere populista, intelligente senza essere noiosa, artistica senza essere incomprensibile.

Il festival vuole generare una nuova cultura del cinema, mostrando le sue nuove forme e i generi alternativi, un raffinato cinema della biodiversità fatto di idee geniali, grandi visioni e potentissime emozioni; ed esplorando nella contemporaneità il rapporto sempre fecondo con cui il cinema si fa influenzare dalla musica e viceversa: con particolare riferimento alla musica contemporanea, popolare, etnica, di ricerca. Un festival di cinema aperto a tutte le dimensioni dell'arte.
