Screendance Cafè
saturday 22 and sunday 23, from 10 am
meetings reserved to the artists/directors involved in the festival and to the members of the Young Jury.
The meetings will be in italian
Antonio Capocasale leads an informal round table, a chat around a coffee with the artists involved in the festival.
“There is a language of dance, as well as one of cinema.
Is there also a common and shared language of cinedanza (Screendance)?
Does it make sense to identify a specificity, in addition to possible relationships (for example: certain cinematographic musicals, the film-opera, the comedian in silent cinema, the music video clip, etc.)?
How and why do performers, dancers, filmmakers measure themselves with this form today in Italy?
More than deducing answers, it is perhaps valuable to delve into the questions and explore them, to allow oneself to be questioned. And check if there are common grounds, themes, problems, practices and methods that can be shared among those – dancers, performers, filmmakers – who for various reasons and in various ways measure themselves with (or, simply, “are interested in-“) the screendance form “.
Antonio Capocasale is a film critic (Theater and Critics; Cinematograph Magazine; Fata Morgana Web) and editor of the texts and programmer of the Laterale Film Festival (non-competitive international review of experimental cinema).
Achieved his PhD in humanities at the University of Calabria, he taught audiovisual disciplines at the University of Salento, holding the film-making and multimedia production workshops.
His interests range from the intertwining of documentary and contemporary art, to slow cinema, to contemporary Italian experimental cinema, to the in-depth study of lesser-known works and authors or those who tend to be “on the fringes” of circulation and distribution. His monograph on the cinema of contemporary Italian real is forthcoming for the Editions of the Fondazione Ente dello Spettacolo.

Awards
First prize
For how the production manages to put itself at the service of a constantly evolving dancing essence, with the intent of making us reflect on our identity as human beings and on the identity of the other who takes on life and transforms into a body only thanks to movement.
Second prize
For the innovative use of rhythm in the editing and the relationship between the camera and the dancing body, both aimed at emphasizing the act of liberation interpreted as a shift of tradition towards new and unexpected shores.
Third prize
For having been able to summarize in an eloquent and essential way the reality and the rawness of a body wriggling in the dark space of his and our subconscious.
Honorable mentions
For the constant combination of the arts, for the grandeur of a project that raises the preparatory part to aesthetic value as much as the result that follows.
For the constant dialogue between young bodies and new images, which through a surprising study of the profound meaning of dance are able to tackle universal and necessary issues such as the rights of male and female workers.
