I love it, Suad, I think I could if I only smiled, but I waited too, that smile, for not having noticed that just does not smile or, indeed, that smiles in installments, periodically, a bit 'from the left side of the lips and a bit 'to the right, or upper lip before and after the lower, and only with this or that part of the lips, the rest of the face and body does not smile even in part, does not know sottoridere, in fact. Or does it have any reason, poor Suada.

I told you, stupidly, and then does not smile at all, absolutely, or whole, from the root hair to the folds of the eyes, left and right, with all the facial muscles, teeth and then leaped around the sublanguage . Excessively, then smiles, and not even convince herself.

Forget, Suad, forget what I told myself and, more importantly, what did they tell you all, forget it, to smile, and if you want to laugh, to surridere, superridere, superridi well. It is not mandatory sottoridere, I did not tell you I ordered it, I do not want you to subway. Why underpass, you?

UNDER CONSTRUCTION - PRESENTATION SUBJECT


SUBJECT MOBILE - MARIA ROSA JIJONA

The construction of the concepts of Nation State, Country, Frontier, Public Safety, etc ... totally dependent and relies on the ability of the institution to generate an image easily digestible by society, to justify the actions and policies implemented to safeguard these nationalist discourses and federalists.

In Fortress Europe, immigrants have become the custodians of the responsibility of all social conflicts, insecurity, unemployment and loss of identity that affect these and prosperous societies in crisis. This production of information campaigns that portray the other outsider with negative characteristics that can generate rejection, fear, or at least perplexed citizenship, is an effective way to capture the uncritical support of a population that consumes messages without discriminating its content and purpose.

Racism and xenophobia are entitled to this kind of symbolic production and there are few examples of possible media resistance, compared to mastery of the official message.

these assumptions is seen as an opportune moment to use the anthropological portrait as a tool to reinforce the ironic mode of representation of the Other to call attention to racism and discrimination against immigrants and test a possible use, cultural and political of establishing the subject threatening.

The work

is a variable length video with sound and color.

The setting is a neutral-colored background, preferably gray, which is a portable frame that can be called in any public place.

characters or subjects are migrants from Equador, resident in Italy, before participating in this consensus and collective public action picture taken with video.

sequence length will be reached depending on the number of people who choose to work and live audio is recorded. Each subject will be filmed for a minute. No talking.

This video portrays people decontextualized twice, one because they are not in their country of origin and two because we can not see where they are thanks to the neutral background. The only possible clue is the characteristics acquired by individuals and ambient sound.

Unfortunately, there is already collected and sorted, a body of

official spheres of our country near

on comparisons between non-homogeneous (the revenue of the past and current

the other extreme intellectualist cinema, cinema

the cinema and the public should be masked, "playing
nascondarella", said Alain Resnais, "there are types of public and
types of films that will never meet, and
just when the audience shows no more a consumer

one of the causes of the crisis), because you have not yet found a way to provide

and the National Centre of French Cinematography
have done to achieve the Company of Economics and

on the situation and prospects in attendance at the cinema and was found to increase the means to kill time, but
decreases the time to kill. In other words, the failure

no longer has a virtual monopoly of distractions
popular, is no longer the sort of physio-psychological
habit that had become the drug of mass (
has never been just that, of course), are other elements of the crisis

criticism, in the middle, should be able to improve the two
pictures or bring them closer, to focus, but so far there

(...) But the movie again today responds to a conception
macroscopic and naively romantic
of becoming social. Therefore his "gender" is reduced to a single genre
century romance, and has not gone beyond that step
- though critics pointed out sporadically
fundamental - namely the discovery of microscopic

figuration of a new language to be applied to

is certain that we are still at the stage of emotional medicine

Toti had renamed the film in that its videopoema
which is a tribute to the artistic and political utopias of the twentieth century, the language of
transmental Khlebnikov, Mayakovsky's poetry.

Fragments of films one after another, intertwined with music
: Toti reworks them just as it did with
words, to create meanings ("sognificati," he said) new
new combinations of memory and imagination.
"It was something new with the old - writes Fargier. With frantic

course, Eisenstein did not exist ...»,
I had said in a conversation (Rome, 1995).

his contributions to the journal Film & Cinema ', such as that
Eisenstein and Vertov (1967) in which it interacts with the
issues of truth and cine-cine-eye. There is glimpsed between the lines
, statements similar to those that will then Toti,
in the eighties and nineties, the alleged super-electronic eye.

Indeed, perhaps his most moving video, the one that won

various authors and several critics (as has been said recently at the festival in Clermont-Ferrand
, during a tribute to Toti) is Chained to
FILM 1982 (a Party to the trilogy MAJAKOVSKIANA

of Mayakovsky, came from the film Nikandr Turkin

and time dilation and alterations
spatial and color of the video, thanks to the words recited to
poetic quotations, the magnification of details and gestures, repetition,
enchantments, melancholy interest ("malincosmie," said Toti
like), the fragment (re) becomes work accomplished, in one hour
interprets the hopes and disappointments of an entire generation of fans

memory chips otherwise destined to disappear.
In a poetic, evocative, sometimes enigmatic,
these works are a path to political reflection, offer
matter of doubt and thought
on the rise and decline (or the temporary silence) of communism, which was renamed
Toti "coSmunismo" to emphasize the
worldwide vocation, to come, beyond this or that
hasty and misguided application.

Cinema Gianni Toti had not only loved, commented,
studied, used in the video. At one point the
had also made, both as an actor (for Faccini, the
Straub, Gutierrez Alea and others) and as an author and screenwriter
of many texts that were at the stage of

a book and a 45 music).

is interesting to read today's debates (especially on
Shaul, edited by and starring Roberto Perpignani
GeorgeWilson) magazines of the period, by 'Cineforum "
the' Review of the Cinema" to "New Cinema" and
"Cinemasessanta '. This is a film that reverses the
idea of \u200b\u200b"cinema history" and that it builds with time shifts,
provocations (the headlines in the middle of the film), effects such as
to call the video, more versatile and malleable Film,
more willing for its vibrant nature and point
to "bending" of the language. "I think the film (he says Toti
in one of these items) as a" picture books and audio visual
"which may then need to prefaces,
of post-factions, to work on the texture, useful to the reader
-spectator because it manufactures its own "key
Reading" or "slettura" or "illettura "...».

writer of all the scriptures, Toti shows us here as in his creative journey
it is not "jump" from one medium to another
, by writing to another (perhaps more technically advanced
). The Page -
literally and metaphorically - is one, white sheet and brightness of the screen,

If we read the critical analysis of his literary and poetic work (such as, piercing, Joseph Zagarrio) recognize the "rhetorical devices" totiane, his inventions, his twists of language, its deconstruction,
also in video images: as well as planetary and cosmic
his breath, his "irony antroposociologica"
his views on the possible future and "poesibile. As a young scholar

rigor and freshness that was taking him

lies precisely in this poetic and artistic co-

Gianni Toti Bruno Torri (Omaggio a Gianni Toti - International New Cinema 43. Pesaro)

There are many reasons that led us, we of the Show
International Film Festival, to remember Gianni Toti,
to pay tribute in this edition of the event
which takes place six months after his disappearance. I want
indicate at least two. First, because John was
an intellectual and a very original artist, who occupied a position along
abnormal and relevant in the Italian cultural panorama
, earning more than
recognition at international level: in fact, with regard to his last
creative experiences, would be more accurate
say that his pioneering work in the field of electronic art is
been better appreciated abroad than in Italy.

addition to this reason, that in itself would be absolutely
enough, I also pointed out that John is
been from the beginning several times, very close to
Pesaro Film Festival. In fact, during the first year,
far in 1965, participates in the Round Table entitled
"Criticism and the new film," and also in two subsequent editions
cooperates with similar conventions, yet focused,
thematically, the film critic and
specificity of film language, keeping you each time a report and making it the only one, together with Pier Paolo Pasolini, to be more actively present. In
thus contributed to the realization and success of an initiative
precisely repeated for three consecutive years and
always characterized by the same objective, to reduce the
apparent gap between the progress of the then "new
cinema "- against which the Pesaro Film Festival
intended to act as a moment of reflection and identification, assessment and promotion of
- backwardness,
theory and practice of discourses on cinema and film.

Then his cooperation became even closer
1968 edition of the Festival, which that year was marked,
for better or for worse (but more than that from this), the
disputed. Gianni
was one of five members of the Selection Committee and during the days
Pesaro its relationship with the student movement, rather diffident
first but then very involved, was to
he was very decisive: so that, as in
after I got to say, somewhat serious and somewhat jokingly
, Pesaro, that year, was for him a sort of
road to Damascus. That still does not
away from the Communist Party which he had written a very young age, when in Rome
military in Resistance, if anything, even more radicalized
his Marxist beliefs details: Gianni
special because he knew
combine orthodoxy and doubt, and not to If the often quoted phrase of the same
Marx "I am not a Marxist." Since then John returned to Pesaro
other times as a spectator and, in
a couple of occasions over the years Nineties, even as the protagonist, that is, as
"Poetronics" (the new word is his) to present some of his videos and
to intervene in other conferences
as a theorist of the new audiovisual languages.

But then again, Gianni Toti, far beyond its contributions and its shares
Pesaro, was a person of the first floor
in different cultural fields;
A person with a multifaceted genius and extraordinary productive capacity
. As well as an insatiable reader and traveler planetary
was a journalist (his memorable items from
Vietnam), novelist, poet, essayist, translator, film critic
, filmmaker, director of a magazine
('secret papers') unique, especially
the rediscovery of literary essays or
Italian and foreign, expert editorial (created and edited the series "The
Pockets"), and , but I am not sure I remembered everything
, videomaker. This activity, which is dedicated
in the last decades of his life with great enthusiasm,
fail to enter, and to unify the call for
experimentation, ideological commitment and a vast cultural background
continuously fed and processed, and
confirmed, even in this area so expressive
unique and different, even working with images and
, a master of logos in the dual sense of
"word" and "reason" on the greek word.

Of everything we want to offer a witness in Pesaro,
projecting some of his videos and discussing his work in a
Roundtable, which brings together his most careful and insightful
interpreters. Which, I am sure, will end
speak to the person, ie, its quality
human, his love for life, the consistency with which he has always lived
his ideas, his sense of friendship,
in short, of all that, along with his own opera, Gianni
reminds us with admiration and gratitude.
