Filming the knowledge. Audio-visual paths for education and individual development.The activation of the relation between video and pubic on the theme of education and knowledge passes through the double filter of interest and conceptual harmony.To “educate” means, among other things, to encourage the change. It implies an effort that takes energy from the more or less positive attitude of the public towards the fruition of video products. This condition requires directors and video makers great ability to know and control the current communication strate-gies, in terms of expression and technology, and on the other side, the ability to show a clear artistic vision able to develop the contemporary code towards new ones that will eventually settle.

FILMAGOGIA 2015 AWARD

"Un film, col suo serrato flusso di immagini legate da un tema, la sua storia visiva tenuta insieme dal punto di vista e dai valori del regista è una metafora per nulla malvagia del flusso di coscienza stesso. ... Il meccanismo della nostra conoscenza ordinaria è di tipo cinematografico” Oliver Sacks Still frame tratto da: Taris, Jean Vigo 1931

THE AWARD INCLUDES A SPECIAL MENTION DEDICATED TO ARTS HIGH SCHOOLS, PRESENTED WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL WORK-SHOP “FILMAGOGIA 2014” HELD AT THE VILLA CORNER DELLA REGINA IN VEDELAGO (TREVIS) AND AT THE VENETO REGION PAVILION AT THE EXCELSIOR HOTEL, DURING THE 21ST VENICE INTER-NATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
