onLive Campus for the seventh edition of Torino Film Industry
11 Novembre 2024
From Friday 22 November 2024, the first format in Italy that brings together the artistic sector, institutions, policy makers, companies and the academic world returns with the aim of investigating the relationship between live entertainment and new technologies.
Created by Piemonte dal Vivo in 2020, with the scientific direction of Simone Arcagni, onLive develops the strategic trajectory of the Foundation dedicated to digital and new technologies, finding, again this year, its natural place in the TFI Torino Film Industry.
It will be an opportunity for a journey to discover new creative processes and products, between forms of hybridization and contamination, for a broad reflection on live digital entertainment.
At the heart of this edition are the challenges linked to the video and electronic generation and the development of emerging technologies: from interactivity to graphic engines born in the gaming sector that have also colonized cinematic special effects, up to immersive platforms and the metaverse.
The so-called Extended Reality (XR) - which includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) - will also be discussed, as well as the potential of streaming, next-generation connections and “decentralized” internet solutions proposed by blockchain technology, as well as NFT and AI.
The VERSE project. Creating networks in the Metaverse - promoted by Fondazione Links, Piemonte dal Vivo and AssociAnimAzione - will be the focus of the panel on Friday 22 November at 10 am, at the Circolo dei Lettori, with the participation of top-level subjects from various fields in the performing arts and audiovisual sector.
On the same day at 4 pm the presentation of the Prix ViDa Italia, the first national award for original video dance and XR dance productions, promoted by the partners of PRO|D|ES dance (CRO.ME, Coorpi, Cinematica and Zed Festival) which will see 8 national and international short films made between 2022 and 2024 in the final.
Dance will still be the protagonist at 7 pm, at the Cinema Greenwich Village, with the screenings of “Dancing screens”: an international selection of dance films curated by Coorpi, CRO.ME and Compagnia della Quarta/Zed Festival Bologna as part of the PRO|D|ES project. The selection of award-winning films offers a look at choreography for the screen through the lens of one of the most beloved film genres, the thriller, in which emotional tension and narrative are forcefully conveyed through the language of the body and dance.
On Saturday, November 23rd at 2:30 pm, at the Circolo dei Lettori, the panel “Beauty and participation: Let’s talk about accessibility” will explore the topic of accessibility in cinema, theater and art, not only through compliance with regulations and the use of emerging technologies, but above all through raising awareness in the film and artistic supply chain.
A natural continuation of research on the topic at a national level and an ideal seal of onLive for this edition, is the Libro Bianco on live digital entertainment in Italy, which will be previewed on November 23rd at the Circolo dei Lettori.
Edited by Simone Arcagni and Lucio Argano in collaboration with ADV - Arti Digitali dal Vivo, published by Luiss University Press, the White Paper collects the contributions of experts, scholars, operators who have signed essays on this phenomenon: Annamaria Monteverdi, Antonio Pizzo, Alberto De Piero, Luca Befera, Andrea Malosio, Simona Lisi, Tatiana Mazali, Paolo Stratta, Antonio Taormina, Dario Ghiggi, Desirée Sabatini, Federica Patti, Vincenzo Sansone, Gabriella Taddeo, Donatella Ferrante, Maria Paola Zedda, Alessandro Bollo, Mattia Pivato, Carlo Infante, Matteo Negrin and Olivero Ponte Di Pino.
Promoted as part of the onLive project of Piemonte dal Vivo, the White Paper was born from the desire to provide a critical framework of knowledge around the phenomenologies of live digital entertainment in Italy by outlining possible strategies for its valorization and prospects for the future.
With the help of more than twenty scholars, the two curators have collected materials, files and reflections with the aim of drawing an exhaustive map of the state of the art of this sector. What emerges is a dynamic and in some ways unpublished photograph of the historical and critical path and of the implications in terms of regulations, training, production, relations with festivals, residencies and observatories.
