 On October 30, 2009 we will present the American Premiere of Giuseppe Tornatore‘s new movie “Baaria” at USC’s Norris Theater (it will be the opening film at the Venice Film Festival on September 2). On October 31 there will be a retrospective of the director’s work.
“Baaria”stars Monica Bellucci, Michele Placido, Raoul Bova, Luigi Lo Cascio, Laura Chiatti, Donatella Finocchiaro, and newcomers Francesco Scianna and Margareth Made. The partly autobiographical “Baaria” examines three generations of life in Tornatore’s native Sicilian village of Bagheria. The film cost $30 million to produce, making it one of Italy’s most expensive productions. |

 October 9 and 10, 2009, the Fondazione Azzurra, in association with the UCLA’s Italian Department and the Otis College of Art and Design will be celebrating the Futurism Centenary, the Italian avant-garde artistic movement. The Founding Manifesto of “Futurismo” was published in Le Figaro in Paris on February 1909. The instant international notoriety of the movement had such magnitude that it kept its artist’s activity on the front pages in Paris, New York, Berlin and Tokyo. Exhibitions and celebratory events have been organized, since the beginning of this year, in Europe and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.In the years following 1909, the publication of another twenty-six Manifestos had extended the Futurist adventure into a multitude of mediums.
Our “Serata Futurista “ on October 10, 2009 at UCLA ‘s Fowler Museum will be an evening of art, theater, music and film and will end with a dinner on the Museum’s terrace overlooking the campus, inspired by Marinetti’s 1931 Futurist Cookbook and created by chef Evan Kleiman. The day before, on October 9, a symposium of graduate students, from the United States and abroad, will gather to discuss Italian Futurism at UCLA. |
