Cinematica is an international festival that deals specifically with the image-movement relationship in the visual and performing arts.
The festival, along with the programme that includes video and film screenings, performances, exhibitions, installations and laboratories, wants to convey new trends in audiovisual and performance experimentations, with a strong focus on bodily and perceptual root. The underlying theme of the IX edition (October on the Adriatic seaport town of Ancona-IT) is 'NATURA NATURANS'.
Taking this concept from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza, we intend to explore the generative power of NATURE, seen as inspiration source for creative process, digital and phisical. We expect videodance project, in whatever shape or language, that push the borders of the relationship between BODY and NATURE, marking the typical aspect of Nature of producing everything from itself.
On this theme, expressed with the utmost freedom, we collect artistic proposals for the 2022 edition of the Festival.
