THE GAME:::
the time of the game is 23 hrs. 11 artists that work with image and
film are invited to make a no budget film in this time lapse, about an
unpredictable subject. The only allowed days in the month to perform the game is the 10th for the beginning and 11th for the showing, at precise times.

Only rules are:
the film has to be no budget
the film has to be thought, shoot, edited and shown in 23 hrs time
then it will be destroyed.
the film has to be visible as a film, by audience seated in a dark
room watching a screen.

— film duration cannot be longer than 6′33′’and 11 frames.


::: TIME
How the game will be cooked:

setup the space with splinters of futurist and act them out to stick in everybody’s feet from 20:11 onwards. Free choice of “assaggini”. A noise/tuning group of futurists has to float on the soundwaves in the room, allowing unpredictable resonations. Awaken by the rythmic figures of the music futurist poetry will be read in the original languages (Italian, Russian).
At 10:11 PM sharp the 11 participants are requested to “put in a
hat” a piece of paper with a two liner subject for a film. From the
same shuffled hat each of them will take his story trace, and from
then on be on his way, with or without a dv-tape, to make his film.
the filmakers are allowed to start producing their clip right after
taking the subject from the hat.
the day after, at 9:11 pm the works have to be given
back to the jury that will gather in the cinema. They will be
shown at once in the order they have been assigned in front of a real
public. The viewing will be broadcasted on the internet to connected
audiences.
The jury will be chosen, according to futuristic ideals (see
Manifesto del Teatro di Varieta’) by the organizer(s). The prize will be
known at the end of the process by the winning artist. All films made
by the participants will be destroyed after the viewing, on stage, by the maker and never seen again.
If it is requested by the maker the soundtrack can be performed live
as in the time of silent movies by provided improvising band
(unorosso).
