FROM SIGUR ROS TO PYOOR, MUSIC AT THE LIDO
19/08/2011
The Venice Days 2011, eighth edition of the independent programme promoted by ANAC (National Association of Cinematographic Authors) and 100Autori within the margins of the Venice Film Festival, open with a host of events, surprise evenings and on-trend music.
There was last minute confirmation that this year’s Special Events would include the world premiere of the new concert film by Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós. INNI, directed by Canada’s Vincent Morisset, brings Sigur Rós to Venice for the first time, with an event on 3 September, at 23.30 in the Sala Perla.
The modern tradition of Neapolitan and Mediterranean music, meanwhile, lies at the heart of the film by Carlo Luglio, RADICI, which will also be screened on September 3, at 22.00 in the Venice Days’ Open Space (free entry to the Casa degli Autori’s Open Air Cinema at the Pagoda, in front of the Hotel des Bains).
Finally, an evening of great music, a modern take on the Native American tradition, is planned for September 9, at 22.00, in the Casa degli Autori. It is an evening reserved for Pyoor, the collective name for the directors, technicians and musicians involved in the VALDAGNO, ARIZONA project, dedicated to the utopia and the music of Umberto Marzotto, musician and singer-songwriter who made his own artistic adventures in the Navajo Nation. On September 9, on the Venice Days 2011’s closing night, the doors of the Casa degli Autori will open to the Festival’s public for a special evening.
“Music is a main feature of the films in this year’s programme – says the Day’s Delegate Giorgio Gosetti – from Pink Floyd in CAFE DE FLORE to the Caribbean musicians in CUBA IN THE AGE OF OBAMA, the 2011 selection beats to the rhythm of our times and brings to Venice echoes of a world that expresses itself through music as well as images”.
