New rendez-vous in April with the showcase organised by the CinePhilo university group from the Turin University Philosophy Faculty, on Tuesday 17 April at 5.00 p.m. with Holy Motors by Léos Carax. To follow, meeting with Paolo Campana (filmmaker and writer) and Pietro Kobau (philosopher). Moderator, Francesco Gandellini.

What type of relationship runs between cinema and reality? and vice versa, between reality and cinema? These are just a few of the questions that will be floored during the third edition of the showcase organised by the CinePhilo group, exploring a few examples of cinema showing itself, staging itself in different ways: from fiction film to documentary, to mockumentary. A debate will take place after each screening, with expert speakers in the field, who will essay to clarify certain aspects of meta-cinematography, each time, by dialoguing with the audience.

Holy Motors 

(France/Germany 2012, 110’, HD, col., o.v. it.s/t)

One day in the life of Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), a wealthy businessman who leads a stimulating and destructive life at the same time: moving around in his white limousine, Oscar goes to various rendez-vous, assuming the appearance of an old beggar, of a businessman, or a killer, from time to time. A gut film, with which Carax wishes to shake up the public in the theatre and reflect on the death of cinema, both amazing and illuminating.
