Pasolini films … Life Trilogy plus an encore @Art+ Cinema Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , .

pasolini art cinema

In remembrance to Pasolini’s birth on February 29, 2024., at the Art+ Cinema, operated by the Pannónia Entertainment Ltd. organizing a series of festive retrospective screenings.

Pier Paolo Pasolini was an Italian poet, film director, writer, screenwriter, actor and playwright. He is considered one of the defining public intellectuals in 20th-century Italian history, influential both as an artist and a political figure. He started filming only at the age of thirty-nine. He sublimated his own personal questions, thus leaving us a round, rich, versatile legacy. Many still to-day do not understand his art and sarcasm.

The Trilogy of Life is the summary title of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s three films shot between 1970 and 1974: The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, The Thousand and One Nights Flowers. All three works are based on classic collections of fairy tales and short stories created in the Middle Ages. Italian censorship also banned the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales for a while. The music consultant for the trilogy was Ennio Morricone. The powerful atmosphere of the films is largely due to the authentic filming locations and the mostly amateur actors.

Based on the well-known collection of short stories by Giovanni Boccaccio, the Italian-French-GSR co-production Decameron, presented in 1971, received the Silver Bear Award (special jury award) at the 1971 West Berlin Film Festival.

The Canterbury Tales, an Italian-French co-production presented in 1972 and shot based on Geoffrey Chaucer’s fragmentary collection of fairy tales, partly finished in verse, received the Golden Bear Award (the festival’s grand prize) at the 1972 West Berlin Film Festival.

Based on the well-known Arabic collection, Tales of the Thousand and One Nights, the Italian-French feature film with the same title, shown in 1974, won the special jury prize at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.

All 3 films are therefore based on an important, recognized work that is still included in our literary canon. While the first two are basically related to the Greek-Judeo-Christian cultural circle; in the 3rd.  is embedded in Indus, Persian, ancient Mesopotamian, Jewish, ancient Egyptian, but mainly Arab beliefs and motifs.

It is interesting that Pasolini himself plays Chaucer and Giotto in the Canterbury Tales. In Decameron, the famous director thinks about the nature of our everyday sins and the origin of our guilt. “We have been repeating the same historical crimes for three thousand years, and this strengthens the suspicion that all of this follows from our culture.” – Cheyk: Utt

Pasolini’s last work, Salò, or the 120 days of Sodom, was created as the first chapter of an “anti-trilogy”.

Pasolini films at the Art+ Cinema from February 29 for four days.

Screening dates … February, 29. 8.30 p.m.  – Salo, or 120 days of Sodom, March, 1.  8.30 – Decameron, March, 2.  8.30  – Canterbury Tales, March, 3. 8:30 p.m. – Flowers of the Thousand and One Nights

The Explosion of Digital Vincent Van Gogh Exhibits @ Budapest – February, 2. 2024.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

 Get to know his ideas and ambitions whilst walking into Van Gogh’s Digital World! 

Van Gogh experienced life and the world intensely and wanted his art to portray the great themes of life …  such as hope, love, anxiety and suffering. Explore the on-going search of an artist who was constantly trying to improve himself. In this way, you get a new view of an artist you thought you knew.

Before entering the realm of Van Gogh at the press opening, Dudi Bercovici – Hadran Events managing director, organizer of the exhibition, said Q.: “We know and understand the preferences of to-day’s generation, we know that the accelerated world has developed new habits in the field of cultural consumption as well. We trust that this production will also bring young people closer to art” … and so entered the fields of Van Gogh where it affects all the senses.
 
“If this is what it takes to attract young people, and perhaps to research van Gogh’s original works of art, then it was already worth it. After all, in the 21st century, people visit exhibitions differently, they have completely different needs and interests. And Van Gogh’s art is such a work of life , which is very special both in its use of colors and in its choice of themes,” emphasized art historian Blanka Bán
 
Here is what to expect at this unique display firsthand…
 
An expansive 20000 square meters … special light and sound effects … were able to literally walk into the paintings and immersive 360 degree taking to a journey of discovery on to one of the artist’s profilict period. Instead, of visitors rolling around artworks at an exhibition, these superb arts were floating around us, brought to life by state-of-the-art 4K technology.
 
Having watched the short film about the Starry Night, uncovering amazing many shades of the same colour was breathtaking even knowing he was color blind. Transition to the next path, the multimedia and audiovisual experience keeps getting more intense. Van Gogh’s most iconic art pieces float across the walls and floor. Time to relax … sit back on a deck chairs with lily pattern, really worth to enloose yourself watching the flowting animation of Lilies. Van Gogh developed an idealused conception of the Japanese artist which led him to the Yellow House at Arles and his attemot to form an utopian art colony there with Paul Gauguin. Showing his honour to the artist’s love everything Japanese he painted Japanese Flower Tea … (see slideshow painting) Also on the pathway on the street  The Yellow House, the enchanting neighbourhood of Café Terrace at Night or the serene wheatfield definitely unmissable. Individuals may use their skills in coloring with crayon two different sheets of  Van Gogh’s  paintings within their own artistic imagination.
 
Even though the virtual reality (VR) was a bit foggy (tried to watch it twice) being uncertain experience related that although turning our heads around to adjust the sharpness of the VR glasses, unfortunately we got a blurry picture  … a lady there said to hand-hold the VR device left-right… up-down to see clearer … it unfortunetely did not work … of course, this may only reflect the state before the official opening, and the visitors will have better luck seeing a clear picture.  Anyway walking along by (VR)  Van Gogh’s ambition to paint farmers, his search for colour and his personal interpretation of nature was deeply emotional. Mind you this spot to visit comes with extra additional fee.

The Life of Van Gogh … Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853 and died in France in 1890. From a young age, he was preoccupied with social problems and devoted himself to supporting the poor and the sick. He got real inspiration for painting while drawing the life of miners working in the Walloon Borinage region in the late 1870s. He was unstable throughout his life, tormented by mental illnesses (epilepsy, schizophrenia), and had more and more frequent severe seizures. His paintings bear traces of his unstable, tormented personality. Excessive smoking, alcohol consumption and fatigue aggravated his health condition, and one night he cut off his own ear after a fight. After that, he decided to commit himself to the psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Later, at the age of 37, he committed suicide. The painter who sold only one painting during his life, have had now became a favorit of millions … a rock star in the art world.

 
Van Gogh’s digital art exhibition has captivated audiences having dazzled over 8.5 million visitors across 80 cities worldwide for instance: Australia, New-Zealand, New Orleans, Washington DC, Jakarta, Dublin, Tel-Aviv, Seoul, London, Miami, Philly – USA, Houston, Las Vegas, Beijiin and soforth … now arrived to Budapest.
 
Crowned the winner of both Best Exhibition Experience and Best Immersive Experience at the prestigious Eventex 2023 Awards and ranked among the 12 best immersive experiences globally.
 
The multimedia exhibition Van Gogh –  The Immersive Experience  awaiting visitors in the 
Closing date: September, 1. 2024 .
 
Recommended to all those who are not just curious what an exhibition show to to-day’s generation is about,  withinthe new kind of cultural consumption.  Above all, recommend mostly to those who want an easy-to-consume content instead of belong to the regular audience of classical fine art exhibitions.
 
Families and visitors of all ages are welcome to enjoy the immersive experience … tickets on the spot.
