How much we missed the big screen. Here in Taormina we watch movies in the morning in the dark of a theatre, but in the evening we can have them screened in one of the most beautiful location worldwide.
And I’m not overstating: the screen of Teatro Greco is unique. And while thinking about how well Claudio Cupellini is doing, how much the protagonists of Boys must have enjoyed their performance, if you move your gaze you can experience all the beauty around.
And how much we missed meeting outside and talking, talking, and being sorry because we didn’t like the movie or trying to convince the others.
Scenes from a festival without the frenzied pace that journalists will experience in the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. The Sicilian pace of a 67-year old festival and its rebirth.
And pigeonholing movies in our memory because in a while, years or maybe months, rights will be acquired by some channel. And if it will be RAI, the company I work for, I could choose the best way to present these movies and someone else (the rivalry!) will do the same.
Rai Movie Channel is always scheduling movies in terms of facing rivalry and quarters.
Yes, because films also have their own seasonality.
My programming teacher, Giuseppe Cereda, taught me that there are winter films and spring films, event films and good films to play against football matches.
Yeah, matches, European championships. We will cheer the game on the big screen at Teatro Greco. This is a kind of stuff!
