“…we only need to change the way we look at things…”
Among narrow streets and unique courtyards, under stony chimneys and ancient loggias, between the shadows of centuries-old churches and peaceful olive trees, there is a community infused with both tradition and new cultural experiences. This is Noci, the setting of “Taglia Corto”, a short-film competition organized by Nocicinema Association. We challenged ten film troupes from across Italy to come to Noci and shoot a short-film in just eighty hours.
With Taglia corto, the aim of the 2011 edition of Nocicinema was to combine artistic and social experience. Filming in Noci, our aim was to have the filmmaking teams explore different locales, different people and different traditions. In the end, ten film troupes came from all over Italy and produced eight short films.
In addition to the ten films in competition for the top NociCortinfestival prizes, the audience was treated to a showing of films by emergent directors from seven European film academies. These directors shared the objectives of the Nocicinema association to contribute to the development of a cultural model of European cinema capable of exercising an influence outside the European Union. This segment saw the beginnings of a collaboration with:
- The Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (Slovacchia);
- The Polish National Film Television and Theatre School (Poland);
- The Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (Slovenia);
- ENS Louis Lumière (France);
- The Konrad Wolf Potsdam-Babelsberg Film and Television University (Germany);
- Escola superior de teatro e cinema (Portugal);
- The National Film and Television School-Beaconsfield Studios (U.K.)
Beside the “Taglia Corto” competition and the European Academies screenings, the Festival had ten short-films in the running for a prize assigned by the jury composed by Rossella Izzo (actress), Luigi La Monica (voice double), Tommaso Chimenti (writer and journalist).
Very special guests like the actors Sergio Rubini (The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Passion of the Christ) and Sebastiano Somma (Un caso di Coscienza) made the 6th edition of NociCortinfestival unforgettable.
