Italian Design Digital Journey
The Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm, in collaboration with Shortly Film and Milano Design Film Festival, presents the project “Italian Design Digital Journey”. From 18th to 25th of March a selection of seven movies will be available online on Shortly Film website.
A panel talk with the design experts: Lotta Ahlvar product designer and chairman Design Sweden, Emanuele Stamuli Interior architect and designer, Jessika Källeskog Interior architect and designer, will inaugurate the festival on the 18th of March at 14:00. The panel will be sent live on: www.italiandesigndigitaljourney.shortly.film. The screening of the movies will start at 15:00.
The main purpose of this project is to give the audience the opportunity to set off for an ideal Grand Tour to discover the peculiarities of Italian design and to learn how it expresses itself. Design deals with entrepreneurship as much as with nature, with agriculture as much as with creativity, and this happens mixing history, art, and culture. This incredible journey reveals the special relationship between Italy and design from different points of view.
Today, architecture and design can improve the human experience. On the one hand, it investigates the relationship between people and nature, on the other, between people and cities. It examines the real needs of citizens and analyses the philosophy that always comes along with the industrial evolution. In this sense, the case of Olivetti is emblematic.
The selection of movies has been curated by the Italian Cultural Institute with Milano Design Film Festival. These seven titles were presented in national and international festivals and obtained significant recognition from the audience as much as from film-critics.
The initiative will be shared on all the Institute's social networks. Those interested can register on the Shortly streaming platform to enjoy the following films for 229 SEK during the period 18-25 of March.
