Cortona On The Move
12 July / 30 September 2018
Director Antonio Carloni
Artistic Director Arianna Rinaldo
The 2018 edition focused on women photographers and experimental works in video and transmedia.
“My starting criteria for the selection of exhibitions are the very conceptual basis of the festival: contemporaneity and innovation,” says artistic director Arianna Rinaldo who, in the context of a year that was very intense from political, social and economic points of view at the global level, decided to focus her attention on women photographers.
As further highlights of innovation, we may mention the inauguration and integration of the new section ARENA – Video and Beyond – curated by Screen’s Liza Faktor and Amber Terranova, and made possible thanks to the collaboration with Canon Cinema Eos. This new exhibition space featured experimental video, installations and transmedia works, created by photographers on the intersection of photography, film and technology. The projects selected for the inaugural Arena explored the notion of ‘otherness’ – the lives of marginalized and misunderstood communities and beings, both humans and animals.
