Even in the highlights, Arcipelago Festival reveals its modernity: playing with the definition of our “2.0” era, the “2.3 edition” (not simply the 23rd edition, but the third year of the second course) of the festival is very effective in focusing on the topics of the contemporaneity and on the latest experiments in visual arts, 3D, videogames and narrative innovations in the short-films environment.

Arcipelago, dedicated to the new audio-visual languages (in particular the out-of-standard ones, like short movies and web-series), has been searching for new talents in the Italian and European scene, offering this year a very rich programme to its public, who was able to attend every screening free of charge. Divided into several sections, this edition lasted over a week: from the 4th to the 10th of November.

 

Essaie de mourir jeune Morgan Simon

The main category was The short planet, the International Competition of Short Films and New Images, which presented 21 interesting short movies from all over the world and which was won by Essaie de mourir jeune (Morgan Simon, France), a striking tale about a father and a son who share the night of the boy’s 25th birthday, revealing that age is not synonymous with maturity.

The bigger picture (Daisy Jacobs, UK), about two brothers who have to decide the future of their old mother, was awarded with the Special Prize of the Jury because of its combined  tecnique of stop-motion and painted animation.

World Wide Series, the International Web Series Competition, was won by LARPs (Julian Stamboulieh, Canada), which follows a group of friends and their journey through both their real lives and the imaginary ones they lead in a Live Action - Role Playing game, while the Special Prize of the Jury was assigned to Cortos de Gigantes (Sol Rietti, Argentina), an original animated series about the lives of famous directors.

The Italian movies had their own category (ConCorto, National Short Films Competition), which was won by Totems (Sarah Arnold), a tough movie dealing with social memories and family ties, while the Special Prize of the Jury was assigned to Ardeidae (Daniele Tucci, Chiara Faggionat, Corrado Chiatti), a dialogue between the present and the past of Venice.

The last prize assigned was the Best video one to HUMAN INSTALLATION I/Obsolescenza del genere (Kyrahm, Julius Kaiser), in the LOVE MEETINGS 2.0
Video Competition. This contest was an important event because it was a tribute to Pier Paolo Pasolini, author of Comizi d’amore (1964), a documentary about the love, sex and sexuality of the Italian people in the ‘60s. Nine works of art were selected by the jury as the modern representatives of the studies about the themes that Pasolini focused on decades ago, in order to understand how much (and if) Italian society has changed.
This competition originated from a very important anniversary that was celebrated in 2015: the 40th year of Pasolini’s death. Arcipelago festival decided to honour the great director, hipster and writer with the screening of some beautiful and quite rare documentaries and videos about him in the section Pasolini visto dalla luna: uno sguardo stranier.

Another anniversary (two, actually), another hommage: Orson Welles was born 100 years ago (in 1915) and died 30 years ago (1985). Arcipelago could not ignore these events and chose to honour the great director with the Italian previews of the six episodes of the wonderful TV series Around the world with Orson Welles (1955), just remastered in HD by the British Film Institute.
The last celebration was the 70th anniversary of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s death, with the screening of the documentary about his life To Love without Demand (Christian Braad Thomsen, 2015) rouge
