The Cinedays of Rome City of Unesco

Cinedays – Urban Screenscapes
Turning the City into a Cinematic and Inclusive Experience
City-wide festivals – cultural events that unfold at different venues across a city, get local communities involved and use resources sustainably. These festivals may be held in city squares, parks, museums, stations, prisons or hospitals, making culture accessible to a broader and more diverse public. They probe the new opportunities that this kind of event offers for turning ordinary everyday spaces into cultural and creative venues. Rome – UNESCO City of Film presents the premiere of La Città Macchina, the latest film in the Italia Novecento series, produced by Diego Biello for Filmedea, in collaboration with Cinecittà. Directed by Dario Biello, the film is the story of a photographer and architectural researcher, played by Alessandro Preziosi, who seeks out the city of Verona’s futuristic identity, as embodied by an automobile driven by a mysterious woman. He will put on an exhibition at the MAXXI about how the 20th century city is entering a new age of regeneration and a new future for itself, overcoming nostalgia and traditionalism.
