BODY&GARMENT
LA MODA NEL CINEMA SPERIMENTALE DEGLI ANNI SESSANTA
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH – ROOM 100 – 5.30 PM
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 25TH – ROOM 200 – 12.00 PM
Italian experimental cinema arises in the second half of the 60’s thanks to a group of young filmmakers who were influenced by New American Cinema and acted against the entertainment production system, to create a cinema that could be a true expression of their dreams and desires. Changing the filming technique, cinema becomes an extensionof the filmmakers’ subjectivity, shooting their “private diaries” and bringing their unconscious ghosts on the screen. The movement started to involve poetry, performances, representation and many different artists such as Mario Schifano, Marcello Piccardo, Bruno Munari and Ugo Nespolo. The selection BODY&GARMENT opens a window onto fashion, in a dialogue between dressing and the naked body, between the woman as subject and as object. FFFMilano presents it in its programme to express the connection between this kind of experimental cinema and nowadays fashion films. Schifano, Nespolo, Munari and the others, fathers of our communication, presented fashion on screen through a research on film language, preparing the path that many young filmmakers – some of them in competition at the festival – are now following. Curated by Archivio Nazionale Cinema d’Impresa and Cineteca Nazionale – Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and in collaboration with Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino, Promovideo – Andrea Piccardo, Maurizio Corraini SRL, Ugo Nespolo, Archivio Franco Angeli; Archivio Mario Schifano. The screenings will be introduced by the fashion journalist Renata Molho and by a representative from the Cineteca Nazionale.

ANNA PIAGGI: UNA VISIONARIA NELLA MODA
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH – ROOM 200 – 9.00 PM
FFFMILANO PRESENTS THE PREVIEW OF THE DOCUMENTARY “ANNA PIAGGI: A DREAMER IN THE FASHION WORLD” BY ITALIAN DIRECTOR ALINA MARAZZI
From the end of the 1960’s to the start of the new millennium, there was one figure in the world of fashion that embodied its ANNA PIAGGI spirit and told its story as it was happening: the journalist Anna Piaggi, one of the most important voices of the international fashion system. Celebrated for her eccentric outfits and as an intimate friend of designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Gianni Versace, Castelbajac and Manolo Blahnik, Anna Piaggi recognised the connection between art, society and culture that determined a new direction in fashion and defined its success on a global scale. The film, realised by the director Alina Marazzi, retraces the story of this amazing journalist via the capital cities of fashion – Paris, London, Milan – and makes use of precious archival footage, unpublished photos provided by the archives of Alfa Castaldi, her husband and noted fashion photographer, Ugo Mulas, Baldo Fabiani, and the testimonies of some of the most known designers in the world. Alina Marazzi is a documentary and fiction film director. Un’ora sola ti vorrei (2002) is her first film, followed by Per Sempre and the feature film Vogliamo anche le rose. The investigation on female subjects that she already addressed in her previous works is at the center of Tutto parla di te with Charlotte Rampling, her latest fiction film.
