All set for the nineteenth edition of Creuza de Mà - Musica per Cinema, the festival conceived and directed by director Gianfranco Cabiddu and organized by the cultural association Backstage. It will be held from July 23 to 27 in Carloforte, among the charm of the alleys, the charm of the old movie theaters, the magic of the Giardino di note and the Ex Stabilimento Tonnare di Porto Paglia.
Also this year Creuza de Mà confirms its vocation to deeply intertwine music and cinema, in a constant dialogue between sounds and images that translates into a harmonious and necessary union that the Festival declines in its various aspects and formats: fiction cinema, documentaries, archive films with live soundtracks, short films. Among the most anticipated moments, the double homage to Berlinguer with the cinema of Andrea Segre and the notes of Massimo Zamboni, the suggestive sounds of Round Midnight with the pianist Rita Marcotulli, and the exciting harp concert by Marcella Carboni, the unmissable final concert with Anna Tifu and Romeo Scaccia .
Like every year, alongside the rich programme of screenings, concerts and meetings with guests, Creuza de Mà also confirms itself as a space for growth and discussion on music and sound applied to cinema, for new generations of artists. Thanks to Campus – music and sound for cinema and audiovisuals, which has been an integral part of the festival since 2017 with the SummerSchool for directors and young composers, a project that has since then become the backbone of Creuza de Mà. A high-level training course that reconnects all the elements of the sound chain for cinema and audiovisuals. In Carloforte you study, you learn, you create: a concrete and unique opportunity for girls and boys from all over Italy. In addition to the masterclasses and meetings with the masters, scheduled every morning, the Campus offers the opportunity to attend the screening of short films made by students of the Centro di Cinematografia Sperimentale and set to music as part of the project, testifying to the educational and creative value of this course.
"The meeting between the Campus project - Music and sound for cinema and the Creuza de Mà festival represents a fundamental moment for the cultural and professional growth of our territory", says Matteo Frate, Director of the Fondazione Sardegna Film Commission. " . As Sardegna Film Commission we strongly believe in this vision. A dream and a route that speak the language of quality, of talent, of Sardinia as a place of cultural production of excellence. It is along this "Creuza de Mà" that we imagine the future of our cinema".
