Some anticipations:

INAUGURATION EVENING at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, with an event where music, cinema and poetry will blend together. The popular Iranian actress Fatemeh Motamed Aria will read some poems by Forough Farrokhzad, the greatest woman poet in modern Persian language, and author of the documentary “The House Is Black” which will also be shown on this occasion.
Following, the concert of Hariprasad Chaurasia, the master of Bansuri flute and ambassador of classical Indian music in the world.

FOCUS ON KAZAKH CINEMA. Influenced by the Soviet school, the Kazakh filmmakers tried to destabilize the Soviet cultural roots and its influence by exploring new linguistic paths. The programme will show movies realised from 1996 up to date. We recreate the route – on film print – of the Kazakh cultural change.

MEETING WITH LILIANA CAVANI, who will introduce a day debate dedicated to the Buddhist East. We will show “Milarepa” – directed by L. Cavani in 1974 – and others movies about Tibet.
