Poetics and politics of the trace: Notes on surveillance practices through Harun Farockiâs work
Found footage and archive images, split-screen or a multiplication of the image on screen, a replacement of the original soundtrack with commentary, a detached voice-over alternating long/silent sequences, an explanatory use of info-graphics and tracking technologies. These elements feature in Harun Farockiâs work on surveillance â work ranging from documentary films to video installations that constitutes a complex imagery based on practices of watching and being watched, control and the gaze, triggered throughout private and public spaces
Dwelling with Moving Images
Some filmmakers or artists decide to put art at the heart of their creation, applying not only the relationship between cinema and art to their concept but also to various aspects of the process of creation. Miriam De Rosa addresses this kind of âart contemporary turnâ by examining the different incursions of cinema from the point of view of the contemporary art space: âhow the contemporary experience of moving images is articulated when it enters art spaces.â The presence of film in this foreign space, transform- ing it into a different and personalised place, can be observed in recent exhibitions: Sleepwalkers (2007); Marta MinujiĚnâs Menesunda Reloaded (2019) at the New Museum in New York; and Sensitive Environments by the Milan-based collective Studio Azzurro

Innovative persistenze. Ruolo e immaginario della sala al MAshRome Film Fest
Sempre piĂš di frequente i Film Studies contemporanei tendono a includere nella propria sfera dâinteresse fenomeni testuali e socioculturali che si collocano sullo sfondo di quella che da piĂš parti è stata identificata come una sostanziale âreinvenzione del cinemaâ. Mash up, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, crossmedialitĂ , Creative Commons, cinema collettivo, creativitĂ , remix, pastiche, re-editing sono soltanto alcune delle modulazioni assunte dallâimmagine cinematografica oggi. La riflessione che segue si pone lâobiettivo di provare a comprendere le dinamiche che caratterizzano la sala in questa fase di profonda trasformazione del medium, partendo dallâanalisi di un caso di studio e cercando di formulare unâinterpretazione dellâattuale âazione di colonizzazioneâ di nuove aree artistico-mediali attivata dal cinema. In tal senso, si tematizzerĂ questo meccanismo avvalendosi di un frame teorico mutuato dagli studi postcoloniali
