For the From DiVision to vision showcase, screening of Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky.
Cinema Massimo – 16 October 2017, 9.00 p.m. – Screen Three
The second of the two showcases planned by the university students who won the “Young programmers for young spectators 2016” Call by the Cinema Museum. The From DiVisions to visions idea, conceived by the Fantasmagoria group, springs from a reflection on cinema as a vision of what’s invisible, a re-proposal of what is not there any more, an evocation of phantoms from a past that is crystallized in its artificial life. In this division between reality and vision, cinematographic art is configured, a vision in itself, a division in itself, a break with the real world. This week’s film is Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky. Admission 4.00 euro.
Andrei Tarkovsky
