NEXT EVENTS

** 24-25 August : Castello di Pissignano, Campello sul Clitunno (province of Spoleto, ITALY)

Campello Sul Clitunno is a small, ancient town, 10 km out of Spoleto and 53Km from Perugia, in central Italy. The Castle that since 1100 dominates the valley has a rare pentagonal tower. The zone is knowk for Olive Oil, food, arts and craftsmanship but holds a good amount of subterranean energies ready to explode.
The event is going to be organized in collaboration with OFFUCINA (www.offucina.com) and the Campello Administration.

** 13-14 September: Solubile@WORM Rotterdam

WORM is a cultural center and media rich event organizer in Rotterdam. I saw a great place with a very good energy when i visited. A cinema, a stage for concerts, a bar, a media shop plus places for workshops, for 16mm film and sound design… All designed to be sustainable/reusable and powered with free software…
** 27-28 October: Roma Solubile

With an invitation by Kollatino Underground (http://www.kollatinounderground.org).
KU is the place to be if you want to meet the roman alternative-experimental theater scene.
The CS will be embedded into the activities that Kollatino is organizing for the “Festa del Cinema” (http://www.romacinemafest.org
), the big CINEMA festival of Rome at it’s second edition. Apparently to emend itself for being too mainstream in the lounch edition, Roma film fest wants to go “solubile”. Occasion to show new cinema to the big old guy's fans in town.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
*** makers are invited to participate by the cinema solubile himself. If you like to be part get to us and impress us with your personality... we especially welcome delators: say to us who, according to your judgement we should invite to participate and why!
*** to see you must show up in the venue, there is no way you can enjoy a solubile without being to the show in person...
*** we also (usually) welcome any kind of actor performer musician ready to play with us or be part of the show in "immediatist" ways or offering his body/soul/mind/spirit to makers

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).
