Tomorrow, Wednesday 17 January, at 20.30:21 pm, in the Sala Molière theatre in Pozzuoli, directed by Nando Paone (Viale Bognar, XNUMX, near the Pozzuoli/Solfatara metro station), the fourth edition of “Cinemagma” continues, the review of independent films selected by film historian Giuseppe Borrone, with the second event with free admission.
As every Wednesday until the final awards ceremony on February 7, 2024, another 4 of the 16 short films in competition will be presented.
The title of the festival is inspired by the natural element that is the symbol of Pozzuoli and of a volcanic land like the Campi Flegrei. Underground films flow beneath the surface of mainstream cinema, pushing to reach their potential recipients, so the purpose of the initiative is to offer a showcase and a space of visibility to emerging directors and authors with an innovative gaze.
The technical jury is chaired by director Luca Miniero (Welcome to the South, Neapolitan Spell, No Answer, I'm Back, A Boss in the Living Room, The Investigations of Lolita Lobosco and Napoli Milionaria recently aired on Rai Uno) and is composed of: Enrica Buongiorno, journalist; Alberto Castellano, film critic and essayist; Adele Gallo, casting director; Gianfelice Imparato, actor. The award for best short film, best actor and best actress will be given, dedicated to the memory of Cetty Sommella.
New to the fourth edition is the institution of the award for best editing, dedicated to Raimondo Crociani, who recently passed away. In his long career Crociani collaborated with the most important Italian directors, and in particular Ettore Scola, signing the editing of cult films such as We All Loved Each Other So Much, A Special Day, Dancing Dancing, with which he won the David di Donatello.
