Lerici organizes two evenings dedicated to architecture, planning ability and cinema. How do these disciplines relate through mutual readings and inspirations?
Wednesday September 6, 6 pm: Architecture for cinema - Presentation of the Fellini Museum with Orazio Carpenzano and Leonardo Sangiorgi from Studio Azzurro
The Italian architect Orazio Carpenzano and Leonardo Sangiorgi of Studio Azzurro will present a project made for the recently inaugurated Fellini Museum (Rimini, Italy). The museum, housed in Sismondo castle as well as in Palazzo del Fulgor and in Malatesta square, aims to enhance the cultural heritage of one of the most illustrious directors in the history of international cinema, Federico Fellini. It is such an interesting place where the language of architecture and digital art are merged with the visionary imagination of the director. Studio Azzurro, pioneer of digital video art in Italy, curated the video installations, which are a renowned part of the exhibition. The event is happening in concomitance with the retrospective of Fellini films which is being held at Filminstitutet between the months of August and November.
Refreshments will be served.
Friday September 8, 6 pm: Cinema for architecture and design - Screening of "Aldo Rossi Design" and "Il treno di Sottsass"
Screening of two documentaries dedicated to two great Italian designers, Aldo Rossi and Ettore Sottssas. The event is going to be presented by architect Alessandro Ripellino.
Francesca Molteni’s documentary on Aldo Rossi investigates the legacy of the architect in the history of design twenty-five years after his death, along with the link between drawing, object and architecture, and the relationship with industry, technicians and design factories. The documentary on Ettore Sottssas, a legendary name in the much-appreciated Italian design industry, shows the boundless creative universe of the designer starting from his childhood in the Tyrolean mountains and retracing his travels to America – where he discovered the industrial culture –, the poets of Beat Generation that inspired him, and the Olivetti years. The showing of the two documentaries has been organized in collaboration with Artecinema, an international art film festival which takes place every year in Naples.
