Tour Highlights UNPACK YOUR BAGS IN VENICE Enjoy 8 nights in Venice, from a quiet, central hotel, and enjoy everything this extraordinarily romantic city has to offer: historic monuments, exceptional art collections and special exhibitions, international films, tranquil islands and the local bars, restaurants and ambience of Venice outside of tourist hours. Have the city unfold on your doorstep! THE VENICE BIENNALE The Venice Biennale is the oldest and most prestigious event of its kind in the world, with over 80 nations represented at more than 100 official exhibitions around the city, and numerous unofficial events and special exhibitions timed to coincide with it. Experience the world’s best contemporary art in custom-built galleries in the Giardini, in the historic Arsenale and in palaces around the city. THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL The Venice Film Festival is also the oldest, and one of the most prestigious, events of its kind, with filmmakers from around the world competing for the Golden Lion. The tour includes a selection of films on offer over four nights, including a red-carpet premiere at the historic Sala Grande, and the pleasure of arriving in style by private launch. THE REGATA STORICA Venetians can be hard to find in Venice, but they come out of the stonework for the annual procession of historical boats and the gondola races along the Grand Canal. The event is a continuation of the pageantry from Venice’s Golden Age, when it was Queen of the Adriatic, and is not widely advertised, keeping it relatively free of non-local crowds. JEWELS OF VENICE Beyond St Mark’s Square is a city chock-a-block with history, art and wonderful architecture, ignored by most tourists. See another side of Venice throughout the tour, from the wonderful collection of antiquities and manuscripts at the monastery- island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni, to gems by Bellini, Titian and Carpaccio, and the mosaics of Torcello − followed by lunch at Cipriani. Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D. Tour start & finish time The tour starts on Thursday 29 August at 4.00pm, at the Hotel Al Codega, Venice. The tour ends on Friday 6 September at Hotel Al Codega, Venice, after breakfast. Thursday 29 August Arrive The tour starts in the hotel this afternoon. Please consult your Above: The New Australian Pavilion in the Giardini Biennale – individual travel documents for advice for arriving at the hotel. Venice’s most modern building After a stroll around our neighbourhood, there will be a light Below: Michelangelo Pistoletto’s “Venus of the Rags”, on display dinner in a local restaurant. (D) during the 2017 Biennale at San Giorgio Maggiore, and Jaume Plensa’s spectacular sculpture in the same church in 2015. Friday 30 August The Venice Biennale This morning we visit the Giardini, the historic centre of the Biennale and the location of many of the national pavilions. We visit the Central Exhibition curated by Biennale Director Ralph Rugoff, the Australian Pavilion, and enjoy time to explore the other national pavilions. After a welcome lunch in an excellent Venetian restaurant, we continue exploring the National Pavilions in the Giardini and exhibitions in the Castello district. In the early evening we meet to talk about the day’s art over an aperitif. (B, L) Saturday 31 August the Biennale and the Film Festival This morning we take a walking tour of Biennale exhibitions in the Cannaregio and San Marco districts, some of which are in private palaces with views over the Grand Canal. In the afternoon, we take in more of the art with a visit to San Giorgio Maggiore, an iconic church designed by Palladio. Its prominent location and cavernous interior have made it ideal for displaying large sculptures and installations, which have been major, although sometimes controversial, successes at recent Biennales. The island also has a number of warehouses that have been converted into exhibition spaces, which host excellent temporary exhibitions during the Biennale. In the evening, we visit the Venice Film Festival, which takes place on the Lido, and take in some of what this year has to offer. (The line-up will be announced in July 2019. Please note that the timing of our visits to the festival may change depending on the line-up.) (B) Sunday 1 September Modern Art and the Regata Storica After a leisurely start, we explore the galleries and Biennale exhibitions in the Dorsoduro district, including a visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, located in one of the heiress’s residences, the 18th-century Palazzo Venier. The collection includes outstanding works by Dali, Kandinsky, Pollock, Magritte, Mondrian and Picasso. After lunch in a fine local restaurant, we visit the Punta della Dogana, a former customs house that was converted into a contemporary art space by Tadao Ando and houses works from the Pinault Foundation’s collection. The Regata Storica starts in the late afternoon, and there are many vantage points along the Grand Canal and the Basin of St Mark from which to enjoy the event, although the Punta della Dogana promontory is particularly good. (B, L) Monday 2 September Fortuny, Grassi & Glasstress This morning, after a leisurely start, we visit three highlight exhibitions that coincide with this year’s Biennale. We start the morning at Palazzo Fortuny – the former residence of Mariano Fortuny, inventor of modern stage lighting and an early exponent of the modern dolce vita – which has a special exhibition of contemporary art, perfectly integrated with the Fortuny’s private collection. We then visit the annual exhibition at Palazzo Grassi, the contemporary art gallery of Francois Pinault, the French multi-billionaire, in a converted 17th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal. In the early afternoon, we visit the Glasstress exhibition, an excellent biennale exhibition of contemporary art made from glass. The exhibition is the brainchild of Adriano Berengo, who brings internationally respected artists into his Murano studio to teach them how to use Venice’s specialty art medium. The later afternoon is at leisure, before we return to the Venice Film Festival. (B) Tuesday 3 September The Arsenale Today we visit the Arsenale, once the powerhouse of the Above: Peggy and her dogs, enjoying the sun at Palazzo Venier and just Venetian naval and maritime industries, and a Biennale one of the extraordinary glass sculptures that are shown each Biennale exhibition space since the 1980s.

Marguerite, the owner, is affluent and devotes all of her time to her passion: music.

It stars Catherine Frot, André Marcon, Michel Fau, Christa Théret, Denis Mpunga, Sylvain Dieuaide. A Bigger Splash, this thriller feature the rock star Marianne Lane and Paul, her film director fiancé, who are on holiday in Pantelleria. The sudden visit of Harry, and his daughter Penelope, will drag all the characters into a whirlpool of passion and jealousy. A remake of the French detective film La piscine (1968), this is an Italian, French production starring Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Matthias Schoenaerts, Dakota Johnson, Corrado Guzzanti, directed by Luca Guadagnino. L’Hermine, the story starts the day before a trial: during the hearing, something extraordinary will happen and will change everything.

  • The New Morphology of European Film Festivals (Case Study: Transilvania
    The 2017 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Barcelona, Spain THE NEW MORPHOLOGY OF EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVALS (CASE STUDY: TRANSILVANIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL) lecturer Ileana Nicoleta Sălcudean Cinematography and Media Department Faculty of Theater and Television Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract: The international film festivals are nevertheless ”inherently linked to societal and cultural concerns” (Elsaesser 2005, 27). The new morphology of film festivals brings a new light on film festivals and the theory of culture, especially with the new reconfiguration of festivals Europe, the insertion of new technologies and new opportunities to create networks. The research approach is defined at the intersection of cultural studies, sociology of culture and cultural anthropology, seeking a new vocabulary of film culture in the new socio-political context. In terms of cultural studies I analyze the social and political context of creative industries (mainly film production); an important contribution of cultural studies and sociology of culture refers to the tension between citizenship and consumerism. From the point of view of cultural anthropology, I analyze the new film festival rendering the distinction space/ place; mapping/ tracking (Elsaesser, 2004, pp. 185-188) replacing universal/ particular; local/ global, following contemporary approaches of convergence and network as more efficient in the globalization context. European film festivals shift away from the stereotyped category of nation and auteur as connected to Europe towards the global economy and the city (Valck, 2007, p. 30). The case study of Transilvania International Film Festival is bringing forth questions regarding the Western European vs. Eastern European film festival models and how are the Eastern and Central European festivals incorporating the traits of the Western European film festival.

    ANNA’S WAR by Aleksey Fedorchenko World premiere International Film Festival Rotterdam Section: Voices Screenings IFFR: Sun 28 Jan, 14:30, Doelen Jurriaanse Zaal - P&I screening Sun 28 Jan, 20:00, Pathé 1 - world premiere Mon 29 Jan, 10:00, Pathé 5 Tue 30 Jan, 10:30, LantarenVenster 1 Fri 2 Feb, 13:30, Doelen Jurriaanse Zaal Press contact: NOISE Film PR Mirjam Wiekenkamp [email protected] +49 176 28771839 SYNOPSIS It is the year 1941. Amidst the mass coordinated execution of Jews the entire family of a 6-year-old Anna dies. Her mother covers Anna up with her own body, and the girl miraculously survives. She hides in the disused chimney in the Nazi commander’s office - without food or water, in solitude and fear. So begins a story of the struggle for life that lasts for over two years. So begins this story of the struggle for life, of fighting against the huge and terrifying world of adults. The story of a war in which a little Jewish girl prevails. Anna’s War has been financed through private funding only. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT ​ ​ A little Jewish girl and the Second World War. One and only hero. Cinematic space is limited to the insides of a fireplace, and the geography of events is limited to the classroom of a village school that had been turned into a Nazi commandant’s office. Inside the fireplace the girl finds a safe place where she makes a nest for herself. A home. Outside is an insane world of adults. We see it’s reflection in a bubbly amalgam on the old mirror.
