On Saturday 16th September, at 9 p.m.at Crogiolo Marazzi, Thi si not the ‘Ennesimo festivalfilosofia!
In the venue of Crogiolo Marrazzi, we will investigate the theme of the 2023 Philosophy Festival – Word – by watching the 6 films competing for the 2023 Ennesimo Philosophy Festival Mention. The films include 2 premieres (one Italian, one foreign) for a screening night where cinema will be experienced as a language, its essence. Film is an instrument for communication with its own vocabulary. It has lived through epochs without words and produced dialogues that are part of the common human culture, transcending national boundaries. The 6 competing short films explore how the use of words is fundamental to produce the outcome of one’s fate: from a shipwreck in the middle of the ocean to the relationship between father and son, passing through altered states of perception, telemarketing, and manipulative behaviours. Word always proves to be essential to life and its survival.
During the screening night, a selected jury will award the special mention of Ennesimo Film Festival.
