Double appointment in Cagliari for "Creuza de Mà", the festival organized by the Backstage association and directed by Gianfranco Cabiddu whose 17th edition will end tomorrow, Saturday 18 November, with a great event eagerly awaited by the public.

The second stage of the event, after the intense summer days held as always in Carloforte, will be an entire weekend dedicated to music, meetings and debates, with a particular predilection for the educational project "Campus - Music and sound for cinema", the path of high education conceived and directed by the famous director from Cagliari, Globo d'Oro and Nastro d'Argento for "The Fabric of Dreams", and created in collaboration with the Fondazione Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, the National Film School and with the support of the Sardinia Film Commission Foundation.

The great guest of the two days in Cagliari will be Nicola Piovani: tomorrow at 5pm in the Conservatory Auditorium, he will meet the students of the Campus project and the Pierluigi da Palestrina Conservatory in a masterclass entitled "Music applied to cinema" conducted by Riccardo Giagni, while at 9pm, in the auditorium of the high culture institution in Via Bacaredda, he will be the protagonist of "Notes on the margin", an incredible concert created in collaboration with CeDAC Sardegna chaired by Antonio Cabiddu.

The special concert by the Oscar-winning musician will be an unforgettable story in images in which Piovani, accompanied by Marina Cesari on sax, Marco Loddo on double bass and Vittorino Naso on percussion, will retrace his 40-year career and his relationship with great directors including Federico Fellini, the Taviani brothers, Roberto Benigni, all embellished with the splendid images created by Milo Manara.

“Marginal Notes” is a sort of autobiographical story commissioned to Nicola Piovani by the Cannes Festival, a show in which the Maestro shares experiences, memories and emotions of a life in music with the public, for a story made of lightness and sincerity: “I don't remember a single moment in my life - explains the author of the musical masterpiece for Roberto Benigni's film “Life is Beautiful” - in which there wasn't music”.

To embellish the exhibition, a series of stage videos that integrate the story with images of films, shows and, above all, the evocative power of the illustrations of Milo Manara, with whom Piovani has collaborated on several occasions, whose sensuality and poetry transports the public to reconstruct, with imagination, imaginary worlds that arise from the encounter between different languages.

Another unmissable musical event will be "Silent Movie", the silent cinema with live music, scheduled tonight at 9pm again at the Conservatory.

A film concert by the student composers of the Campus project as the final outcome of the image composition course on silent films held by the masters Pasquale Scialò and Daniele Furlati, during which 10 composers will set live music to the films provided by the Turin Cinema Museum, from the Cineteca Nazionale and that of Bologna.

An event of crucial importance, which personally involves the young students of the Campus project and represents a fundamental stage in this training path.
