all roads lead to Rome

Often life options are inspired by the film you see or the book you read. In 1976, a 15 -year -old Italian boy became attracted to India and its culture when he looked at Satyajit Ray Pathar panchaliTwo years later, Andrea Anastasio landed for a lifetime romance with Buddhist ideas in India and J Krishnamurthy. This week, the famous artists and directors of the Italian Embassy Cultural Center are busy shaping at a film festival, where Delhiites “can see Satyajit and Sika within the same time, to find out how they talk to the world today.”

“At a time when Artificial Intelligence is creating a parallel reality, the importance of an original artwork cannot be overstated,” says Anastasio. Like Indian philosophy, Christianity relates to the secret of God becoming a human being. In both cultures, they say, religion played an important role in promoting art. “Initially, a tool of presenting gospel to those who cannot read the text, during the Renaissance period, the visual artist freed himself to explain the divinity.”

Considering the dramatic climax of light and shadow in the work of caravagio, the uninterrupted way that the way he actually uses light gives the body a sensory dimension that was not before. A controversial figure, from time to time of their delicate behavior and sexuality, an X-ray analysis depicted Caravagio. Mary Magdleen In ecstasy Around 1606 when he escaped after accusing him of murder. However, his art had such a strong impact on the Flemish painters and generations of the later generations that the anastasacio described the history of art as pre and post-cargio.

Without the mediation of symbolism, in the work of Caravagio, the divinity is expressed through a body from the road. “Reality is an expression of divinity in their work. Emphasis is not on the symbolic use of the body. Sorrow and liberation are real in their paintings, not an idea.” The complexity of the art of Karwagio, he emphasizes, cannot be understood by the simple task of looking at the canvas. “I would like to ask people what they make from this. The feeling expressed through the face can probably contain endless reactions. What you make it depends on what the body or feeling is missed in your life. There is no direct religious reference. You only show that she is Mary.

Anastasio sees arts as “as the best cultural ambassadors that help to bridge the gaps.” With colonial hangover wanning, he says that in Europe there is “increasing demand for an ethnic perspective of the world” that “accepts the other.” “I think there was a craving to see really what was a piece of art for another culture for centuries. I hope to look at the Chola Bronze displayed next to bronze in bronze in bronze from the Renaissance period in Florence.”

Center, with Kiran Nadar Museum, “A is also with the idea of ​​making A Juggled Along with Indian and Italian arts, with the work of Indian painters of the 20th century, the iconic pieces of Karwagio, as well as schools in the art of the art of art, were displayed.

The selection of 70 films from 15 countries in Hiff also indicates the plurality of truth. It is coming at a time when the United States is talking about separatism in geopolitics, but its cinema affects cinematic tastes and cultures. A recent example is Anora Winning both ear and academy awards. There was a time when Italian cinema was a guide light with his neolist narratives.

“Hollywood,” Anastasio says, “is adopting the taste of the public.”

“Cinema is a political work, and I want to protect it. If we are moving towards a taste, a style, this is the end. There is no problem with blockbusters, but the truth of autorial voices and an understanding of cinema, it is very important to trigger a process of revealing the complexity of reality or imagining equal realities,” he said. “

Like movies Great ambition, Political leader Enriko Burlinguer’s biopic, who converted the Communist Party of Italy into power in 1978, and Gautam Ghosh CircumambulationIndo-Italian production on development politics, he explains, compete with the story that equals money with joy. “Europe must understand its place in a global context. There was a time when democracy was necessary for the free market. Today, it seems that capitalism no longer needs democracy. It is a scary idea,” says Anastasio.
