[incidentale]

Throwback to this event from 2018 in Ostia after the screening of Non Essere Cattivo during Notte Caligari hosted by Il Cinema In Piazza.

I just think they are neat and hilarious at public events huge thanks to @weardes for tracking it down in this gifset.

Full video in the comments. Brief translation under the cut:

The host is thanking those of the crew who couldn't be there, and then asks everyone if they want to share a memory about Ostia or if they have anything they want to say in particular to the people there, since this was an event that brought the movie where it was shot after three years from its release, in some way closing the cycle with the palce too.

People didn't know who had to start and the host called Alessandro to speak first since he already had the mic.

Alessandro says that it seems like this cycle never ends, that even after so many years since they've met to make this movie, they are still here talking about it and this fact makes him, and them all, emotional. The only thing he can do is to shout his most absolute thanks to everyone for being here and to still want to watch the movie, and more in general for wanting to support cinematography. If one is in love with Non Essere Cattivo it's because they love a certain kind of cinematography, which is what they also love.

Then he makes a joke, aside from his huge thanks, he's passing the mic to Giordano Meacci (screenwriter), that way he'll have things to say for 40 minutes, and quote: "Nah, that's not true, look how handsome he is. And nothing, thank you, what else can I say? There's here Luca Marinelli who has something to say."

Luca meanwhile is taking pictures with an analog camera and is caught off guard, and says "Just like in the 90s." And Alessandro asks if it works with film, that camera, and Luca goes, "Yes, yes. You gotta develop it. Those things..." and makes a gesture to mean 'ancient'.

He then also thanks everyone and starts elaborating a reply. He says it's very, very, veeery moving, and this story really never ends. A while ago, when they were following and promoting the movie, they used to say it was like a book, every time you turn the page and it's blank then it starts filling in as colors start to appear, and seeing everyone here again– "it's been a while but... [emphatically] it doesn't seem like it."

At that everyone laughs and Alessandro cracks up, clinging to his shoulder, and Luca just closes with, "It's beautiful, thank you." Everyone claps and they move on to the screenwriters.

#EDIT: found again the post where i first saw the vid!! was losing my mind for two days cause I was sure it was in there #luca marinelli #alessandro borghi #don't be bad #borghi totally losing it at marinelli's answer was priceless #ill never tire of seeing the juxtaposition of the completely different ways these two are in public #wanted to preserve this moment for posterity and wanted it with audio #im still going through old stuff but this needed to be here #marinelli cinematic universe #non essere cattivo #borghi limited edition

INSIGHTS

The Project: Drawings From Lightning is an artistic reflection on lightning, a characteristic event of the Lake Como area due to the high frequency with which storm phenomena develop, it was investigated by scientists such as Alessandro Volta, who represented it through the autograph drawing.

In the past, drawing was a widely used tool in the documentation of natural phenomena or geometric and empirical transcriptions, used by astronomers such as Galileo Galilei or philosophers such as Giordano Bruno, an integral part of the professionalism of researchers.

The lightning was therefore chosen as the emblem of the Drawings From Lightning project, which focuses on contemporary drawing, a line of light and energy, the subject of the interpretations of the invited artists.

With this project Laura Santamaria returns to Como - her place of origin - after being the protagonist of a ten-year tour, which took him to art centers both in Italy and in Europe.

The Disegno Specchio exhibition collects unpublished works generating new paradigms linked to the production of drawing in the most experimental and contemporary declinations, accompanied by the limited edition showing prints from the first collection of drawings from the Drawings from Lightning project, artist book (self-published 2016). The body of works is gathered around the metaphor of lightning, as a symbol of vital and energetic recognition, the light of new reflections, both immediate and urgent, around the role of the artist within contemporaneity.

The language of drawing is favored by artists to express their intuitions, generating new codes, evidence of a process that abandons the academic modality of copying from life to generate suggestions through new tools and open a dialogue that invites us to consider how much drawing be an instrument of inner vision, of perception of abstract thought and a device that generates new graphic formulations.

Capable of weaving relationships, artistic production can be understood as an entity generating a vital contribution in the evolution of languages, attributing new meanings to reference codes, while at the same time generating a virtuous circuit between public institutions, museums, libraries and archives. The drawing in the broad formulations proposed by the project determines a unique episode in contemporary art, and directs the gaze to this practice which presents itself as a haven of authenticity and rigor within the technical and media convulsions of the contemporary panorama.

The conference: Drawings from Lightning - In-conversation event aims in a broad and discursive way to reconnect and deepen the reflections generated during the presentation event of Drawings From Lightning at the Museo del 900 in Milan, on 11 October 2023, opening new reflections in the headquarters of the Municipal Library of Como, which highlight emblematic aspects of the creation of a collection of works now part of the public heritage within the Museum's collection, through the presentation of unpublished drawings and the artist book recently donated to the Library's assets.

friend who hasn't watched suburra but has been subjected to my endless wailing and exposed to the crucial scenes to suffer with me, just decided to take her revenge and showed me stupidi ragazzi by achille lauro, saying she couldn't stop thinking about spadino and aureliano when it came up. I'm compromised now.

«Lo spazio naturale come grande dimensione dell’avventura da noi non c’è, e difatti la parola wilderness resta intraducibile, ciò che non è toccato dall’uomo da noi di fatto non esiste, persino a 4000 metri sulle Alpi si sente la presenza dell’uomo. Ho ripreso quel mito molto americano, e anche il film, cosa che abbiamo visto già a Cannes (dove Le otto montagne ha vinto il Premio della giuria, nda), lo hanno capito e amato di più gli americani, la critica francese e italiana è sempre un po’ più snob di fronte a quell’ingenuità forse un po’ americana, è vero. Anche Into the Wild, visto da qui, è un film che oggi risulta infantile, c’è questo ragazzo ingenuo, romantico, anche un po’ pirla, che va a morire in mezzo all’Alaska. Invece gli americani quell’ingenuità la preservano, ne vanno fieri. Hemingway diceva che bisogna avere il cuore di un bambino, e ne andava orgoglioso. Io la capisco, questa cosa. Non essere troppo disincantati, troppo cinici. Se no finisci davvero per smontare tutto». – Paolo Cognetti
