CinemAmbiente in cooperation with Circoscrizione VI - Torino, organizes the film exhibition 'Ecokids 2011', screenings for the primary schools of the city. All the events will be introducedby an environmental expert.
The life of Galileo Galilei, from his studies on improving the telescope, his formulation of scientific method, and his role in support of Copernican heliocentrism, to subsequent accusation of heresy, trial and abjuration of his theories. Forty years after its original release, Galileo is presented in the version restored by the National School of Cinema. The film points an accusing finger at blind arrogance and intellectual authoritarianism, raising a hymn to scientific inquiry as the guiding light of progress and freedom.
Liliana Cavani began her filmmaking career as documentarist for RAI; her debut film was Francesco d'Assisi (1966), acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival, followed by Galileo (1968). The Year of the Cannibals (1970), an adaptation of Sophocles's Antigone, raised moralists' eyebrows. Even more upsetting to the censors and the respectable were her
next films The Night Porter (1974), a cult classic, and Francesco (1989), in the way she handled controversial such themes as racism, Nazism, guilt related to power and sexuality-subjects around which her films often center.
