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 leitmotif of the X edition (end of October / Ancona-IT) is 'DE ANIMA'. With this Latin expression which is also the title of one of Aristotle's most important works, we intend to explore the soul and spiritual theme, but also that of "giving life", of animating things, people, inanimate objects. After dedicating the 2021 edition to the theme of Touch, 2022 to Natura Naturans, it seems to us that three years after the pandemic event, time has come to get closer to consciousness and the most spiritual forms of existence. We await videodance projects, in any form or language, that go beyond the material boundaries of the body to deliver the deep sense of giving life, of animating, or being in contact with the soul and the ritual side of one's self, also in relation to different forms of existence in other worlds, including that of the Metaverse. On this theme, expressed with the utmost freedom, we collect artistic proposals for the 2023 edition of the Festival.
