Press release for 9 June, 2021 For immediate publication/release UDINE – A throwdown is when you get knocked to the ground. It's an action, and even more a state of mind, that inspired one of Johnnie To's masterpieces and which perfectly captures the dynamics - social, political, health and emotional - of the last year and a half. There's no need to go over why - what we need, what we really need, is to stay focused on the "after" part. The action, and even more so the state of mind, that every throw down triggers: that instinct to get back up. The instinct to not stay down there, where the body blows of history have made us fall. That's the idea - we might even call it the operational philosophy - behind the Far East Film Festival 23: documenting the “after”. Showing a world, the world of Asian cinema, which refuses to resign itself to immobility and is intent on getting back on its feet again..

    Introduction to Neorealism: Yesterday, Today Starts Wednesday 12 October 2011 18.30 – 20.30 8 weeks Italian Neorealism was undoubtedly one of the most revolutionary cinematic styles of the twentieth century, and despite being borne out of the ruins of the aftermath of World War II, Neorealism has continued to influence contemporary film directors, both within Italy and in the international film industry. This course will look at the distinguishing features which made Neorealism such a unique phenomenon and course participants will trace these features in contemporary films in order to explore the notion of a reinvigorated neo- neorealism. Beginner’s level - no prior knowledge necessary. Course tutor: Adalgisa Serio, freelance lecturer and writer, also working for the Open University and CDLCI. Week 1 Introduction – Roma Citta` Aperta (Rome, Open City) The Annexe Wed 12 Oct 18:30 – 20:30 We start by trying to illustrate the main features which characterise and define Neorealism using the most significant films as illustrative examples – from Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di Biciclette) by Vittorio De Sica, to The Earth will Tremble (La terra Trema) by Luchino Visconti. We will then concentrate to analyse Rossellini’s masterpiece “Roma Citta` Aperta” (1945), considered by most critics as the cinematic manifesto of Neorealism. Week 2 Roma Citta` Aperta (Rome, Open City) The Annexe Wed 19 Oct 18:30 – 20:30 Continue from week 1 Week 3 Screening: Paisà (Paisan) Cinema Wed 26 Oct 18:10 Dir Roberto Rossellini / IT 1946/ 120 mins Carmela Sazio, Gar Moore, William Tubbs, Robert Van Loon Part of Rossellini’s War trilogy, the film, for the content and cinematic choices, is one of the most powerful examples of Neorealism.
