AUTEUR SHORTS presents Shorts’n jazz, a selection of shorts in tribute to jazz musicians and music.

For the occasion of the Turin Jazz Festival, the CNC - National Short Film Centre is presenting a selection of four Italian works at the Cinema Massimo, in which experimenting and historic portraits meet up and offer a tribute to jazz.

We start in 1951 with Il blues della domenica sera (Sunday evening blues) by Valerio Zurlini, a poetical documentary on “weekend musicians” blending jazz sounds, blues lyrics and images. To follow, Tromba fredda (Cold trumpet) by Enzo Nasso, a novel and surrealist portrait of the great Chet Baker. Olmo Amico will present L’Uomo Amico (Amico, the Man), a documentary dedicated to the opus of his father, Gianni Amico, and his passion for jazz. Finally, Leonardo Carrano and Giuseppe Spina will introduce their recent Jazz for a Massacre, the winner of the latest Lucca Film Festival, a visual-musical jam-session and chromatic dance, in which 20,000 painted and massacred film-frames will sound the subconscious. Admission 3 euro.
