VOCI NEL SILENZIO (VOICES IN THE SILENCE) is a series of talks and screenings organised by the Brigate Irma Vep study group, directed by Professor Giulia Carluccio with assistance from Professor Silvio Alovisio. The group was formed with the aim of showing, reassessing and examining a seminal period in film history which however is not so familiar to the general public: silent film. In partnership with Turin’s DAMS college for the performing arts.
