Film director, artistic director and cultural manager, an active promoter of classical knowledge. CSR manager with attention to art, psychophysical well-being, ecological transition and training, Felicia Cigorescu is also the creator of the Beautiful Business® method, according to which companies and public pursue a cultural responsibility dedicated to producing well-being but also knowledge , valuing man through art and work seen as a single thing: the matrix of the search for the meaning of life and spiritual elevation, through the values of Humanism in the culture of beauty.
Felicias is also the founder and artistic director of CitArts, the arts festival that brings art to Italian cities to enhance their cultural prestige; she was the artistic director of VIOFF, the Vicenza Oro off-trade fair (IEG Italian Exhibition Group), which saw the creation of international exhibitions and events; curator of exhibitions and installations in cities of art, in collaboration with public bodies and companies; creator of the "Open Game" project of "Cambio Gioco" in collaboration with Ser.D, ULSS 6 and Veneto, to raise awareness of gambling addiction through theatrical language.
She is the founder of Prysma Production, a creative pseudonym for advertising productions created together with masters of photography, directors, writers, graphic designers and artists: a team of emotional narrators with whom, for over ten years, she has been responsible for the genesis and development of emotional advertising narratives and cultural events for major international brands, such as SNAM Group, Mercedes-Benz and many others.
The human being has always expressed a radical need to give artistic form to his experience of the world and the sacredness that inhabits the universe, as well as having an irrepressible and visceral attraction for beauty, the sublime
and the mystery. Art does not stop at the sign of what it shows, but is therefore a manifestation of the sacred feeling it contains, of a wise interpretation of life through the unexpressed vibrations that become emotions in sound, shape, color, light, matter and poetry. Art is a gateway to a higher consciousness and knowledge of the world. For this we must trace new paths to make the invisible manifest and awaken people's consciences. And cinema is one of our best tools.
"An Enlightened Mind" is, therefore, the common thread that unites Art, Science and Spirituality to show how these three Universal languages can converge to guide each of us on the necessary journey within ourselves, leading us to reach that awareness of Being which is the key to understanding the world and the meaning of our lives, and the way to a truly interconnected, peaceful and ecological society, for a more aware world.
