In Rome, a festival dedicated to contemporary cinema and audiovisual experimentation: The Interview

A Roma c’è un festival dedicato al cinema contemporaneo e alle sperimentazioni audiovisive. L’intervista

The Ru-mòre Cinema and Audiovisual Experimentation Festival is launching in Rome’s San Lorenzo district from April 14 to 18. Evolving from the former Barkov Film Festival, the event features a diverse program of short films, screenwriting competitions, and a dedicated section for virtual reality. The festival utilizes multiple local venues, including Cinema Tibur and the Mercato di San Lorenzo, to host international works and industry panels.

This festival is significant for its focus on the intersection of contemporary cinema and visual arts, specifically through its 'Loud' program which highlights video art, site-specific installations, and immersive technologies. By integrating experimental audiovisual languages into a traditional neighborhood setting, the organizers aim to foster a dialogue between young creators and the public while providing a platform for difficult-to-access digital and performative artworks.
