The 21st annual international conference organized by the Department Filosofia, Comunicazione e Spettacolo (formerly Dipartimento Comunicazione e Spettacolo) of Università Roma Tre will be held in Rome at DAMS (Via Ostiense 133) on November 26-27, 2015.
This edition will consider the relationship between Cinema and History, identifying new directions and contemporary approaches in the field.
Taking as its premise the fact that in our digital era the relationship between cinema and history is played out over a broad and complex terrain, the conference seeks to consider cinema in hybrid and expanded terms. This may require analysing cinema’s relationship with history within a broader mediatic context, taking into account – for instance – adjacent and tangential media such as television, videoart, internet and videogames.
The opening cerimony of the conference will take place on Wednesday 25th November in the wonderful context of Palazzo Braschi, next to Piazza Navona. During the cerimony there will be a metting with the Italian film director Marco Tullio Giordana. Furthermore, it will be organized a guided tour of the photografic exhibition War Is Over, curated by Enrico Menduni and Gabriele d’Autilia.
During the evening at Palladium Theatre (P.zza Bartolomeo Romano, 8), there will be two events at the presence of the film directors Marco Bellocchio and Ettore Scola. Marco Bellocchio will present his latest movie Sangue del mio sangue on November 26th and Ettore Scola will hold a lecture on his cinema.
