Programma

Banksy Does New York

di Chris Moukarbel, Stati Uniti 2014, 80’
Nell’ottobre del 2013 il famoso street artist Banksy ha ideato un progetto di residenza che prevedeva la realizzazione di un’opera al giorno per le strade di New York. Tra graffiti, sculture, performance e azioni spettacolari il progetto di arte pubblica di Banksy ha coinvolto migliaia di persone generando un’estesa “caccia al tesoro” nella città prima che molte delle opere fossero distrutte o rimosse per essere vendute senza autorizzazione. Chris Moukarbel ha seguito gli interventi realizzati dall’artista dal Lower East Side a Staten Island, da Williamsburg a Willets Point, ma soprattutto ha raccontato le reazioni del pubblico, intervistando e ascoltando le opinioni della gente comune e dei soggetti che a diverso titolo sono coinvolti nella vita sociale e culturale della città. Il progetto di Banksy è un invito collettivo a prendere parte ad un’esperienza condivisa e aperta, e allo stesso tempo una critica feroce al sistema capitalistico e all’ipocrisia del mondo dell’arte contemporanea.
Introdotto da Roberto Fassone, artista, performer e docente.

Big Time

di Kaspar Astrup Schröder, Danimarca 2017, 93′
Ritratto del super premiato architetto danese Bjarke Ingels che, poco piu che quarantenne, ha firmato alcune noti edifici degli ultimi anni quali il grattacielo W57 VIA 57 West a New York, il Danish National Maritime Museum a Helsingor, il Serpentine Gallery Pavilion a Londra. Girato nel corso di sette anni, il film racconta la sua vita professionale e personale. A seguito di una contusione in una partita di baseball gli viene diagnosticata una ciste al cervello che lo costringe a sottoporsi ad una serie di esami, appuntamenti con medici e ad un’operazione, registrati con grande discrezione dalla macchina da presa di fronte alla quale Ingels mai si sottrae. Dalla malattia all’apertura del secondo studio a New York del BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group alle riunioni di lavoro e sui cantieri, alla relazione con la compagna, l’architetto Ruth Othero, il regista lo segue dovunque cercando di carpirne la determinazione sul lavoro e gli aspetti più intimi, anche teneri, del carattere.
Introdotto da Giacomo Pirazzoli, direttore CrossingLab, Dipartimento di Architettura, Università di Firenze.

China's Van Goghs

di Yu Haibo, Yu Tianqi Kiki, Cina/Olanda 2016, 80′
Il film racconta di un laboratorio artistico nella città di Dafen, nella regione di Shenzhe, nel sud della Cina, dove giovani di estrazione proletaria si guadagnano da vivere producendo copie di quadri di Van Gogh, che vengono vendute in tutto il mondo. II proprietario, Xiaoyong Zhao, ha il sogno di visitare il Museo Van Gogh ad Amsterdam per vedere dal vero i quadri dell’amato maestro. China’s Van Goghs è un film sulle aspirazioni artistiche di un uomo semplice la cui vita è completamente assorbita dal fare commercio di tele i cui soggetti stereotipati vengono ripetuti all’infinito ma che al contatto diretto con l’arte del lontano maestro, riesce a comprendere il valore della propria libera creatività. Sullo sfondo, le contraddizioni e i contrasti di un paese in veloce sviluppo e di cui troppo poco ancora sappiamo, dove gli operai lavorano dall’alba al tramonto, i tassisti tengono santini di Mao sul cruscotto e aspiranti giovani pittori vivono il mito globalizzato di un celebre artista occidentale. Momento rivelatore di questo vivido documentario è la scena della visione da parte di Zhao e dei suoi operai del celebre film di Vincente Minnelli, Brama di vivere, dove un tormentato Kirk Douglas interpreta il maestro olandese.
Introdotto da Leone Contini, artista e antropologo.

Emilio Vedova - Dalla parte del naufragio

di Tomaso Pessina, Italia, 2019, 66’
Un documentario lirico, materico e violento che ricostruisce il percorso artistico ed esistenziale di Emilio Vedova, uno degli artisti più importanti del Novecento italiano, vincitore del Gran premio della pittura e del Leone d’oro alla Biennale d’arte di Venezia del 1997. Attraverso la testimonianza di curatori tra i quali Germano Celant, il film traccia il percorso del pittore veneziano, massimo protagonista della pittura informale. Il film è inoltre arricchito dal sapiente uso di materiali d’archivio inediti tra cui sono video, registrazioni audio, fotografie e un diario letto e interpretato dall’attore Toni Servillo mentre si trova circondato dai dipinti custoditi all’interno della Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova a Venezia. Le opere dell’artista racchiudono le atmosfere della città lagunare e la meraviglia dei dipinti di maestri antichi quali Tiziano, Tiepolo e Tintoretto da lui tanto amati. Presentato alla 76° Mostra del Cinema di Venezia (2019), il film è stato realizzato con il supporto della Fondazione Vedova.
Introdotto da Desdemona Ventroni, storica dell’arte e curatrice.

Troublemakers: the Story of Land Art

di James Crump, Stati Uniti 2015, 72’
Il film ripercorre la storia della Land art attraverso filmati originali e il racconto di alcuni degli artisti protagonisti di quel movimento: Robert Smithson, Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, Dennis Oppenheim, Vito Acconci. Con la loro pratica essi discussero le contraddizioni della cultura moderna, superando i confini della pittura e della scultura, per produrre lavori su scala monumentale nei vasti spazi del deserto del sud-ovest americano, facendo convergere in un unico luogo architettura, paesaggio, scultura, fotografia. Oggi come allora, i loro interventi appaiono rivoluzionari, non solo perché sono incompatibili con gli spazi delle gallerie, ma perché contrastano le leggi del mercato, oltrepassando i tradizionali canoni artistici. Il regista James Crump realizza un tributo al loro coraggio, mostrando come la natura che ospita questi lavori ha modificato e alterato i loro assetti iniziali, creando un dialogo tra l’artista e il mondo naturale. La parte di commento storico è affidata al critico e curatore Germano Celant recentemente scomparso.
Introdotto da Riccardo Venturi, storico e critico d’arte.

Moving Archive
II edizione

Per la II edizione di Moving Archive Lo schermo dell’arte presenta in biblioteche e istituzioni di 9 comuni della Città Metropolitana di Firenze una selezione di film d’artista e documentari sottotitolati in italiano provenienti dal proprio archivio che conta oltre 900 titoli.

Moving Archive intende raggiungere nuovi pubblici grazie al coinvolgimento di istituzioni culturali e luoghi di studio. Gli enti, mettendo a disposizione dei propri utenti gli strumenti in dotazione nelle proprie sedi, tablet, computer, sale proiezioni, monitor, contribuiscono alla creazione di un nuovo modello di distribuzione alternativo alla sala cinematografica. In tal modo, film difficilmente accessibili potranno raggiungere il grande pubblico.

Il progetto è realizzato con il sostegno della Città Metropolitana di Firenze e con il patrocinio di Comune di Scandicci.

Le biblioteche e associazioni coinvolte sono:
Associazione culturale di volontariato onlus “La casa del sole e della luna” e Biblioteca comunale di Londa | Associazione Fiera di San Luca e Biblioteca comunale di Impruneta | BeGo Museo Benozzo Gozzoli, Castelfiorentino | Biblioteca civica di Calenzano | Biblioteca comunale Pablo Neruda di Capraia e Limite | Biblioteca comunale di Vaglia | Biblioteca Comunale di Rignano sull’Arno | La biblioteca di Scandicci | “Le Muratine” Biblioteca comunale di Pontassieve.

Moving Archive
IV edizione

MOVING ARCHIVE è un progetto di inclusione sociale dedicato all’approfondimento, attraverso il cinema d’arte, di tematiche sociali, geopolitiche e ambientali che interessano il mondo contemporaneo: un programma di proiezioni e di incontri gratuiti della durata di 6 mesi (dicembre 2019-maggio 2020), che si rivolge a scuole secondarie di secondo grado, biblioteche e circoli ricreativi culturali di Firenze e di 6 comuni limitrofi, rivolto ad un pubblico intergenerazionale di cittadini che studiano, vivono e lavorano nelle aree periferiche di Firenze.
 
A marzo 2020, a causa dell’emergenza COVID-19, Moving Archive è stato sospeso. Il programma è stato riformulato e si è svolto tra aprile e maggio 2020 in streaming. I film sono stati introdotti da video registrati con il commento di Riccardo Venturi, storico dell’arte (Waste Land), Leone Contini, artista (China’s Van Goghs) e Roberto Fassone del collettivo di artisti Estuario Projects (Banksy Does New York).
 
La IV edizione di Moving Archive è stata realizzata con il contributo di Fondazione CR Firenze nell’ambito di “PARTECIPAZIONE CULTURALE”, il Bando tematico che la Fondazione dedica al sostegno di programmazioni culturali finalizzate a potenziare la partecipazione attiva della comunità locale e l’inclusione sociale delle periferie.
 
Enti che hanno aderito al progetto:
le scuole secondarie di secondo grado ITT Marco Polo all’Isolotto/Firenze, ISISTL Russell-Newton a Scandicci, IISS Calamandrei a Sesto Fiorentino, la Biblioteca Civica Calenzano, la Biblioteca comunale di Bagno a Ripoli, la biblioteca comunale di Lastra a Signa, il Circolo Ricreativo Brozzi/Firenze, il Circolo Ricreativo Culturale Silvano Corti Sant’Andrea a Rovezzano/Firenze, Circolo Arci Le Panche Firenze.

Megunica is a unusual documentary and an hybrid artwork. It is the diary of an adventurous voyage of self-discovery that the notorious street artist Blu, together with film maker Lorenzo Fonda and two other friends (Silvia “Sibe” Siberini and Ivan Merlo) took towards the end of 2006 across five South American countries – Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Argentina – hence the title’s acronym.

For two years, Dutch artist Renzo Martens traveled across the Congo Democratic Republic videotaping the population’s dramatic living conditions and observing how poverty has become one of the country’s economic resources, even more profitable than the markets for natural resources such as cacao and gold.

Exploring the boundaries between business and real passions for art, the documentary reveals the unusual practices, speculations and secrets that are hidden behind the complex and impenetrable phenomenon of the “great bubble”.

[button link=”http://www.schermodellarte.org/scheda_film.php?id=19&nochiudi=1?iframe=true&width=800&height=600″ size=”small” target=”_blank” style=”light” lightbox=”true” color=”white”]Le ceneri di Pasolini[/button] by Alfredo Jaar, Italy 2009, 38′

Exit Through the Gift Shop is one of the most provocative films about art ever made, it is a fascinating study of low-level criminality, comradeship and incompetence. By turns shocking, hilarious and absurd, this is an enthralling modern-day fairytale… with bolt cutters.

[button link=”http://www.schermodellarte.org/scheda_film.php?id=184amp;nochiudi=1?iframe=true&width=800&height=600″ size=”small” target=”_blank” style=”light” lightbox=”true” color=”white”]Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict[/button] by Lisa Immordino Vreeland, USA 2015, 97 ‘
The film follows the stages of Peggy’s life: the openings of her famous galleries – Guggenheim Jeune in Paris, and Art of This Century in New York; her relations with the artists she passionately supported – Wassily Kandinsky, Salvador Dalí, Robert Motherwell and Jackson Pollock.

Today visitors’ experiences in museums is increasingly mediated by screens of the devices in their possession. If everything can be experienced on-line, what is the current meaning of a museum exhibition? Will there be a new role for galleries and museums?

[tab title=”FILM”]

China’s Van Goghs by Yu Haibo, Yu Tianqi Kiki, China/Netherlands, 2016, 80′
The film describes an artistic workshop situated in the city of Dafen, located in the Shenzhe region, in the south of China. In this laboratory young lowborn people work to produce copies of Van Gogh paintings, which are then shipped and sold all over the world. The owner, Xiaoyong Zhao, has the dream of visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to see the real paintings of his beloved master. China’s Van Goghs is a film focused on the artistic aspirations of a simple man whose life is completely absorbed by the trade of canvases whose stereotypical subjects are repeated endlessly. Zhao, after a life spent in direct contact with the art of the master, is able to understand the value of his own free creativity. In the background, there are the contrasts of a fast developing country, of which we know just a part, where the workers work from dawn to dusk, the taxi drivers hold Mao’s santini on the dashboard, and young painters live the globalized myth of a famous western artist. The revealing moment of this vivid documentary is the scene where Zhao and his workers watch the famous film by Vincente Minnelli, Lust for Life, where a tormented Kirk Douglas plays the Dutch master.

Kusama-Infinity by Heather Lenz, USA, 2018, 85′
Yayoi Kusama is almost 90 years old. After 30 years in a psychiatric institution in Japan – she suffered from hallucinations, obsessive-compulsive behavior and depression as a child – and after at least two decades of anonymity, the Japanese artist isnow a giant figure in the contemporary world scene. In 1993 she represented Japan at the Venice Biennale – after being driven out in 1966, when she performed without authorization and sold pieces from her Narcissus Garden installation for two dollars a piece.
Born in 1929 to a conservative family in rural Japan, she expressed early on a desire to move to America and make art. She arrived in New York in 1958. In the 1960s she attracted critical attention with paintings of obsessively colored dots, and nude happenings that were often interrupted by the police.
Nominee Grand Jury Prize Documentary Sundance Film Festival 2018, the film contains interviews with her friends,collaborators, art world colleagues and various scholars, as well as excerpts from her diary and letters, including those she sent to American artist Georgia O’Keeffe when she was very young.

Radio Ghetto Relay by Alessandra Ferrini, 2016, 15′
Radio Ghetto Free Voices is a radio that gives a voice to the dwellers of the Gran Ghetto of Rignano (Apulia, Italy), a shantytown that, until recently, housed thou- sands of West African migrants. Heavily exploited in agricultural work, they were able to share their experiences through the radio, discussing their inhumane living conditions and exposing their struggles. Building on their desire not to be photographed or filmed, Radio Ghetto Relay combines text, Google Earth and Street- view images to amplify their voices, highlighting the radio’s power to cross borders, while looking for their t races in the rural landscape of southern Italy.

Restless. Keith Haring in Brazil by Guto Barra and Gisela Matta, USA, 2013, 38′
During the 1980s, Keith Haring traveled around the world, creating public works in many cities; among the last of these is the mural Tuttomondo, painted in Pisa in 1989, which the Soprintendenza per i Beni Artistici has slated for preservation, due to its “particularly important historical-artistic value”.
After participating in the São Paulo Biennale in 1983, as a guest of painter Kenny Scharf and his wife Teresa, Haring often visited the village Serra Grande, where he left many works inspired by the place’s life and atmosphere. Following the restoration of a large circular mural, created in 1985, only a few meters from the beach, the documentary follows a significant and little-known moment in the famous American graffiti artist’s biography. Testimonials by several of his closest friends (aside from Scharf, Bruno Schmidt), are interspersed with Polaroids, audio recordings and text-extracts from Haring’s personal collection. A portrait of the artist emerges: aware and generous, a philosopher of “cum-passion”, as critic Lea Vergine defined him. The film was recently screened at CENTQUATRE in Paris, within the context of the major show Keith Haring. The Political Line at Musée D’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

Thomas Hirschhorn – Gramsci Monument by Angelo Alfredo Lüdin, Switzerland, 2015, 94′
Gramsci Monument, an homage to one of the 20th century’s most important philosophers, is the installation which Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn–who was present at this year’s Biennale di Venezia–produced in the summer of 2013 for the Dia Foundation at Forest Houses, in The Bronx, New York. The site-specific monument was conceived as a place made up of different ambient spaces: laboratories for art- and political workshops, a library, and play-areas for children. Famous for provocative works which confront social themes, Hirschhorn lived with the neighborhood’s residents for five months and dealt, not always peaceably, with their different realities and ethnicities. A shared human experience was his attempt to divulge the Italian philosopher’s thought, and to build a temporary monument destined to remain in the collective memory. Director Angelo Lüdin shot the various phases of the work, documenting the active collaboration of a poor and isolated community.

Waste Land by Lucy Walker, United Kingdom, 2010, 98′
The documentary is an extraordinary portrait of Brazilian artist Vik Muniz, and the touching story of his experiences with the over 3000 catadores (scavengers of recyclable materials) at the world’s biggest garbage dump, the Jardin Gramacho, located among the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Muniz has dedicated his series Pictures of Garbage to them, after having involved them for over two years as protagonists and assistants in the production of portraits and revisitations of some of the most famous masterpieces of contemporary art. As with his sugar-children series, which focused on the faces of the children of Central American plantation laborers, the images chosen by the artist, and the materials taken from the dump which are used to re-draw them, are inextricably linked to tell the people’s stories. Originally from Sao Paulo in Brazil, where he spent his childhood and adolescence, Muniz shows through his work that art and beauty can cause change, redemption and genuineh uman enrichment. Awarded prizes at Sundance and in Berlin, where it also won the Amnesty International Award, Waste Land’s soundtrack is by Moby.

Women Are Heroes by JR, France, 2010, 88′
In 2007, French street artist JR, who arrived in Naples with his Inside Out project at the first Sky Arte festival in May, embarked on a trip to Africa, in order to highlight the dignity of women forced to live in extreme poverty among civil wars, violence and all kinds of everyday battles. Women Are Heroes, an artistic project that became a film, took him to Kenya, Brazil, India, and Cambodia over the course of four years. The protagonists are women who struggle boldly despite the incredible difficulties of their lives. JR portrays their faces on huge posters, which he puts up in the most diverse locations: the sides of the train wagons in Kenya, the barracks of Brazilian favelas, and buildings in cities like New York or Paris. Photographic evidence becomes a message of hope in changing the social contexts of extreme poverty and violence in which some women have to live. The original soundtrack is by two famous trip-hop names: Massive Attack and Patrice Bart Williams.

Moving Archive 3rd edition, December 2019 – May 2020

[rev_slider sliderMovingArchive2019-20]

MOVING ARCHIVE is a social inclusion project dedicated to the investigation, through cinema and art, of social, geopolitical and environmental issues that affect the contemporary world: a programme of free meetings and screenings lasting six months (December 2019 – May 2020), that takes place in upper secondary schools, libraries and cultural recreational clubs based in Florence and in six neighbouring municipalities, addressed to a intergenerational public of citizens who study, live and work in the suburban areas of Florence.

[tab title=”FILM”]

China’s Van Goghs by Yu Haibo, Yu Tianqi Kiki, China/Netherlands, 2016, 80′
The film describes an artistic workshop situated in the city of Dafen, located in the Shenzhe region, in the south of China. In this laboratory young lowborn people work to produce copies of Van Gogh paintings, which are then shipped and sold all over the world. The owner, Xiaoyong Zhao, has the dream of visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to see the real paintings of his beloved master. China’s Van Goghs is a film focused on the artistic aspirations of a simple man whose life is completely absorbed by the trade of canvases whose stereotypical subjects are repeated endlessly. Zhao, after a life spent in direct contact with the art of the master, is able to understand the value of his own free creativity. In the background, there are the contrasts of a fast developing country, of which we know just a part, where the workers work from dawn to dusk, the taxi drivers hold Mao’s santini on the dashboard, and young painters live the globalized myth of a famous western artist. The revealing moment of this vivid documentary is the scene where Zhao and his workers watch the famous film by Vincente Minnelli, Lust for Life, where a tormented Kirk Douglas plays the Dutch master.

Kusama-Infinity by Heather Lenz, USA, 2018, 85′
Yayoi Kusama is almost 90 years old. After 30 years in a psychiatric institution in Japan – she suffered from hallucinations, obsessive-compulsive behavior and depression as a child – and after at least two decades of anonymity, the Japanese artist isnow a giant figure in the contemporary world scene. In 1993 she represented Japan at the Venice Biennale – after being driven out in 1966, when she performed without authorization and sold pieces from her Narcissus Garden installation for two dollars a piece.
Born in 1929 to a conservative family in rural Japan, she expressed early on a desire to move to America and make art. She arrived in New York in 1958. In the 1960s she attracted critical attention with paintings of obsessively colored dots, and nude happenings that were often interrupted by the police.
Nominee Grand Jury Prize Documentary Sundance Film Festival 2018, the film contains interviews with her friends,collaborators, art world colleagues and various scholars, as well as excerpts from her diary and letters, including those she sent to American artist Georgia O’Keeffe when she was very young.

Le ceneri di Pasolini by Alfredo Jaar, Italy, 2009, 38′
Jaar tells the story of Pasolini’s life and of his tragic death in a documentary film constructed with excerpts shot by Jaar and others shot by Pasolini. Other archival material and interviews is used in which Pasolini denounces the stereotyped homologation, induced by a consumerist society.

Thomas Hirschhorn – Gramsci Monument by Angelo Alfredo Lüdin, Switzerland, 2015, 94′
Gramsci Monument, an homage to one of the 20th century’s most important philosophers, is the installation which Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn–who was present at this year’s Biennale di Venezia–produced in the summer of 2013 for the Dia Foundation at Forest Houses, in The Bronx, New York. The site-specific monument was conceived as a place made up of different ambient spaces: laboratories for art- and political workshops, a library, and play-areas for children. Famous for provocative works which confront social themes, Hirschhorn lived with the neighborhood’s residents for five months and dealt, not always peaceably, with their different realities and ethnicities. A shared human experience was his attempt to divulge the Italian philosopher’s thought, and to build a temporary monument destined to remain in the collective memory. Director Angelo Lüdin shot the various phases of the work, documenting the active collaboration of a poor and isolated community.

Waste Land by Lucy Walker, United Kingdom, 2010, 98′
The documentary is an extraordinary portrait of Brazilian artist Vik Muniz, and the touching story of his experiences with the over 3000 catadores (scavengers of recyclable materials) at the world’s biggest garbage dump, the Jardin Gramacho, located among the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Muniz has dedicated his series Pictures of Garbage to them, after having involved them for over two years as protagonists and assistants in the production of portraits and revisitations of some of the most famous masterpieces of contemporary art. As with his sugar-children series, which focused on the faces of the children of Central American plantation laborers, the images chosen by the artist, and the materials taken from the dump which are used to re-draw them, are inextricably linked to tell the people’s stories. Originally from Sao Paulo in Brazil, where he spent his childhood and adolescence, Muniz shows through his work that art and beauty can cause change, redemption and genuineh uman enrichment. Awarded prizes at Sundance and in Berlin, where it also won the Amnesty International Award, Waste Land’s soundtrack is by Moby.

Women Are Heroes by JR, France, 2010, 88′
In 2007, French street artist JR, who arrived in Naples with his Inside Out project at the first Sky Arte festival in May, embarked on a trip to Africa, in order to highlight the dignity of women forced to live in extreme poverty among civil wars, violence and all kinds of everyday battles. Women Are Heroes, an artistic project that became a film, took him to Kenya, Brazil, India, and Cambodia over the course of four years. The protagonists are women who struggle boldly despite the incredible difficulties of their lives. JR portrays their faces on huge posters, which he puts up in the most diverse locations: the sides of the train wagons in Kenya, the barracks of Brazilian favelas, and buildings in cities like New York or Paris. Photographic evidence becomes a message of hope in changing the social contexts of extreme poverty and violence in which some women have to live. The original soundtrack is by two famous trip-hop names: Massive Attack and Patrice Bart Williams.

Notes on Orientalism
Video Practices at the Age of Radical Difference

Curated by Silvana Fiorese and Simone Frangi

Notes on Orientalism. Video practices at the age of radical difference is a temporary cinema organized into four different sessions, 2 hours long each, that will be screened at Viafarini space, Fabbrica del Vapore.

Taking as a starting point the physical and virtual archives of Lo Schermo dell’arte, the selection curated by Silvana Fiorese and Simone Frangi attempts to re-enact the notion of Orientalism as formulated by the theoretician of Palestinian origins Edward W. Said in 1978, trying to intercept it in recent audiovisual productions which deal with postcolonial issues and anti-imperialist postures. While introducing the idea of Orientalism, Said unveils in an extremely analytical and polemical way that typical European modality of establishing relationships with its geopolitical otherness through the affirmation of Europe as a special pole of the processes of identity construction. In the frame of the analysis of European colonial dynamics, Orientalism emerges as a cultural and political project aiming to dominate and exercise influence on East – understood as a metaphor of everything that is not Europe – thanks to economical, political and military power structures. This idea of the positional superiority of Europe, which seems to be supported by the imagination of a factitious Eastern World and by its partial and non radical difference, supports in fact  the priority given to Europe in the field of geopolitical identity-making.

Starting from an attentive analysis of the pivotal work of Edward Said and its segmentation, Notes on Orientalism takes the shape of a program of screenings of artists that try to undermine, rectify or denunce the predatory and coercitive process of the “vampirization” of the difference, taking into account its actuality.
