2023 ~ Island Thinking / L'Isola che pensa
The Island Thinking / L'Isola che pensa Film Festival was a joint production of DAI in close collaboration with amaneï, the Comune di Santa Marina Salina and de Appel Amsterdam and will take place on the 13th, 14th and 15th of May, 2023.
The selection for our Island Thinking / L'isola che pensa Film Festival was made by five of DAI's core tutors, united under the umbrella of the How To Do Things With Theory module: Dr. Amit S. Rai, Dr. Ana Teixeira Pinto, Dr. Ghalya Saadawi, Dr. Grant Watson and Dr. Hypatia Vourloumis.They carefully brought together voices and visions from Great Britain, Jamaica, Martinique, Cuba and beyond, that speak of islands real and imaginary.
Ricardo Liong-A-Kong designed, produced and shipped 5 precious booklets containing the de Appel CP participant's texts about the selected films.
And here are the digital versions:
La danza dopo la tempesta / Dancing After The Tempest
Un film nel film /The Film Within the Film
Una vita di congiunture / A Life Full of Conjunctures
