MACRO is hosting INTERMEZZO, an event promoted by the production company Dugong Films which presents an interaction between museums spaces and the cinema circuit. On 21 and 22 July in the museum courtyard there will be screenings, live sets and meetings will take place with the participating artists. The audiovisual works of Yuri Ancarani, Rä di martino and Flatform will be exhibited, together with the musical “interludes” by Max Casacci, Matteo Pit, Conversation Piece and Giulia Tagliavia.

 

INTERMEZZO opens on Wednesday 21 July with Quello che verrà è solo una promessa, a work by Flatform which will be presented for the first time in Rome.

 

On the same evening two other films are scheduled, both awarded by the Eurimages Lab Project Award, in an unprecedented “Remix” version: Tutto l’oro che c’è by Andrea Caccia, accompanied by the live set performed by Max Casacci and his Earthphonia project, and finally Rä di Martino’s Stand-up, set to music by Conversation Piece, the new musical project by Simone Alessandrini, Simone Pappalardo and Mauro Remiddi born during their residency at the Mattatoio.

 

The evening of Thursday 22 July opens with the live set Scratched memories by Giulia Tagliavia, pianist and composer, who for the occasion reworks the music created for Samouni Road, the film by Stefano Savona, which won the prize Œil d’Or for best documentary of the Cannes Film Festival.

 

The screenings of two films by Yuri Ancarani will follow: Sèance and Whipping Zombie with the interlude of a DJ set by Matteo Pit.

 

The program also includes two talks, which will undertake the possibilities of intertwinement between art and cinema by involving different personalities and institutions operating on the border between these two worlds.
