ED'O 2019
What should the purpose of a film festival be? Whether you call it festival or exhibition or any other name, an event where films are shown to the public has logical and ethical obligations both towards the public and the institutions supporting it.
The 41st edition of the Efebo d’Oro offers a wide variety of cinematic and audiovisual forms of expression to promote awareness of how languages are evolving around the world, reaching out to young people to offer an overview that goes beyond the usual contexts, to be a “window on the world” not only for the topics it covers, but also for the ways in which these stories find their most appropriate forms.

MASTERCLASS
The 41st edition of the Efebo d’Oro, in collaboration with the Experimental Center of Cinematography – Sicily, will host a masterclass by director Mike Hoolboom, Efebo d’Oro New Languages – City of Palermo 2019, who will talk about his cinema and of the paths and techniques that underpin his work.
Always fascinated by the dismantling of any mechanical attribution of meaning, his work investigates how physicality determines perception and, also, how mass culture, saturated with images, causes many problems at the perceptual level.
Friday, 18 October / 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. / Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa
Participants will have the opportunity to interact with Mike Hoolboom and benefit from simultaneous English/Italian translation services. At the end of the masterclass, a certificate of participation signed by the director will be issued.
