A seguire la versione italiana. . 5 Anecdotes about the films by Dawn Westlake My friends at Arrivano i Corti asked me for some “spicy anecdotes”. I don’t really have any… but perhaps I can tell you some interesting background stories about my films. “Mini Driver Project” (2000) This was my first short. My first film as a producer… and I made it in Portugal. “Why!?” you might ask… Well, back at that time, I was trying to do a feature co-production with Spain based on an extremely famous Spanish novel, and it just wasn’t working out for me. A friend of mine, a Portuguese actor, suggested to make a short film over there to demonstrate that I could produce in a foreign country. He was also of the opinion that it would be a stron…

This article is written to promote discussion about copyright, its infringment, its escape routes and about the freedom to learn and to evolve. Copyright law says that a work can’t be used for 70 years after its author’s death: this is a lifetime, even when you are a student and the author is just dead. Marco Infussi These are strange times indeed. While they continue to command so much attention in the mainstream media, the ‘battles’ between old and new modes of distribution, between the pirate and the institution of copyright, seem to many of us already lost and won. We know who the winners are. Why then say anymore? Because waves of repression continue to come: lawsuits are still levied against innocent people; arrests are still made on fli…

Dear S@abun, dearest all other hackerz, this post is about your defacing activities on this website, arrivanoicorti.it. As you can see, we are a no-profit association, dealing with everyday problems in setting up our annual international short film festival, since 1997, without so much money. We have decided to use our Grab.it! script to gain that little money from Google advertising to ensure this website can remain online. We know that our website has vulnerabilities, and we ask you: please save us. Protect us, instead of destroying our little work. Attack industries, police or capitalism symbols, but not associations of free thinkers: white hats like Kevin D. Mitnick choose bigger targets. Short films makes people happy: we are happy if the…

In 2006, a group of friends decided to make a film about filesharing that *we* would recognize. There have been a few documentaries by ‘old media’ crews who don’t understand the net and see peer-to-peer organisation as a threat to their livelihoods. they have no reason to represent the filesharing movement positively, and no capacity to represent it lucidly. We wanted to make a film that would explore this huge popular movement in a way that excited us, engaged us, and most importantly, focussed on what we know to be the positive and optimistic vision many filesharers and artists (they are often one) have for the future of creativity. It achieves some, but by no means all, of our goals. to continue we need your help. this film is free for you …

La tenda in piazza Regia: Gian Maria Volontè Fotografia: Paolo D’Ottavi Montaggio: Antonio D’Onofri, L. Spelli Fonico: Francesco Venier Elettricista: Enzo Rocchi Anno: 1971 Durata: 62’ Il film racconta la lotta di operaie e operai della fabbrica Fatme di Roma (montaggio alternato di interviste, allestimento di un tendone in Piazza di Spagna per una manifestazione di protesta, scontri con le forze dell’ordine).

La tenda in piazza, racconta Volontè ” …è venuto fuori perché in q…
