The AngoLazioni exhibition returns to Sant'Anna Arresi , now in its fifth edition. The Municipality is preparing to become the epicenter of Mediterranean cinematography again this year, with stories and insights dedicated to the history of cinema. The artistic direction is by Mohamed Challouf. The program includes a trip to the Mediterranean through the cinema, three cine-concerts with silent films and dramas involving Sardinia, Tunisia and Naples.
The appointment is for Friday 8, Sunday 10 and Monday 11 September, with performances starting at 21, in the evocative location of Piazza del Nuraghe. The project is promoted by the Municipality of Sant'Anna Arresi, with the support of the Fondazione di Sardegna and of the Ras – Autonomous Region of Sardinia Assessorato PI BB. CC. and with the organizational coordination of the Association of Local Authorities for Cultural and Entertainment Activities.
«The film festival was born in 2019 as a moment of cultural growth. Every year, topical issues are addressed; there was talk of migration, the environment, the role of women and their vision of the world, peace - explains the Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Sant'Anna Arresi Elisabetta Rossu -. Cinema is an extraordinary tool. The images, the protagonists, the music, the photography immediately communicate meanings and emotions that leave interpretation free, and allow the development of critical thinking and ideas. Ours is a town of about 2,700 souls, but over time it has become, thanks to the numerous cultural, theatrical, musical and arts events in general, a place open to exchange and welcoming. The AngoLazioni review builds a bridge over the Mediterranean and opens up to the South of the world, with the awareness that we are all always someone's South, it depends precisely on the angle from which we observe it».
Mohamed Challouf has been participating in the review since the first edition: first as a guest, and then taking over the reins of artistic direction. A profound connoisseur of cinema, in particular that linked to the Mediterranean world, for the past four editions of AngoLazioni has been making his professionalism available to create and organize the Sulcis festival. «AngoLazioni allows artistic and cultural works to circulate between the various Mediterranean countries, it is a moment and also a reason for dialogue in an era in which dialogue seems increasingly difficult, as demonstrated by the many wars taking place in the North and in the South of the world - comments -. And to explore what is happening in cinematography today, let's start from afar, from its origins, from silent cinema, with the singular proposal of film concerts».
