Cinema, beyond cinema, and cinema once more.
We will explore authors, trends and movements that have contributed to the legitimisation and evolution of the art of cinema, creating or reinventing its language and practices. By anchoring concepts, films and gestures in the history of cinema, we shall look at the early days of the 7th art — the first public screening of the Cinématographe, the journeys and shots of the Lumière brothers, the
revelation of a vision of the world and the possibilities of cinema — and at the early days of television — the involvement of filmmakers and artists in the
public television project, the critical and utopian visions of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Roberto Rossellini, and, on the other hand, the pioneers of video art, the subversion of the CRT (cathode ray tube),
challenging the balance between the roles of the sender and the receiver of images. We conclude with a reflection on the migrations of contemporary cinema towards
new forms and spaces of presentation.
