facebook.com/events/636333407348103

GAMMM è estremamente felice di presentare domani un documentario che si pensava perduto, e che il regista che lo ha realizzato, VITTORIO ARMENTANO, ha potuto reperire grazie alla disponibilità della Cineteca di Bologna. Si tratta di IMAGE IN, video dedicato al lavoro di uno studio pubblicitario, e girato a Londra nel 1969 per la Documento film, con testo di EMILIO VILLA, fotografia di Renato Tafuri, montaggio di Carla Simoncelli, musica di Egisto Macchi.

Il video può essere visto a partire dalle ore 10:00 del 21 settembre (giorno di nascita di Emilio Villa) su https://gammm.org, o sul canale YouTube del sito.

Accompagnano l’opera due interventi inediti: un saggio di Chiara Portesine su Villa e una breve nota sul video di Marco Giovenale. Entrambi leggibili da domani sempre su https://gammm.org

*
Un ringraziamento particolare va ad Aldo Tagliaferri, il cui appoggio e sensibilità (per tacere del pluridecennale lavoro su Villa) sono stati fondamentali per condurre alla pubblicazione del video.
