Cristiana Farina, the screenwriter and TV author, is the protagonist on Wednesday, April 10th at 2 pm of the meeting organized by Galà del Cinema e della Fiction and by the University of Suor Orsola Benincasa.
In the seventeenth-century Sala degli Angeli of the University in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Cristiana Farina, creator as well as screenwriter along with Maurizio Careddu of the record-breaking Italian series, “Mare fuori”, will meet the students of the degree courses in Communication Sciences and in Digital Humanities and the students of the Master in Cinema and Television of the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples.
At the meeting, moderated by journalist Marco Spagnoli, will participate Paola Villani, Director of the Department of Humanities of the University of Suor Orsola Benincasa, Valeria Della Rocca, General Director of Galà Cinema and Fiction, Arturo Lando, scientific coordinator of the Master in Cinema and Television of Suor Orsola Benincasa.
“Dedicating attention and space to the professions of cinema - emphasizes Valeria Della Rocca - is a natural extension of the work that our structure realizes year by year in the context of the productive sector linked to the film industry. The development of this sector in our territory, also thanks to the careful and far-sighted cultural policies activated in this sense by the Campania Region and pursued with tenacity by its Film Commission, finds us perfectly in line with the goal of fostering the professional development of the young generations of technicians and operators for cinema and television. And it is for this reason that, thanks to the important and indispensable collaboration with Suor Orsola Benincasa, we have activated this new segment of activity, dedicated to training, which starts precisely with the meeting that takes place in the splendid hall of the Neapolitan University”.
“It has been millennia, by now, that Naples gets lost in its stories - highlights Paola Villani - and it is a fact that the numerous ‘cases’ of cinematic and television narration of the city of Naples have certainly contributed to shaping and modifying the image of our city. This is a very hot chapter and remains, for an Italianist, the absolute centrality, the power of narratives. Certainly, it is a duty of the Universities to place at the center of our traditional sociological, anthropological, and pedagogical studies but also of modern reflections on storytelling and screenplay for cinema and television these unavoidable television and/or cinematic phenomena like Mare Fuori”.
