“The film must extend itself beyond its own limits, right into where we are, where we live, we who are the protagonists of all stories.”
— Michelangelo Antonioni

Stephen O’Malley, sound architect and founder of the legendary Sunn O))), master of drone/doom; the Lebanese sextet SANAM, with its unique blend of psychedelia, jazz, traditional Arabic singing, and contemporary poetry; Texan songwriter Micah P. Hinson, creator of stark and narratively dense folk ballads, balancing confession and romantic resistance; Index For Working Musik, a London quintet digging into post-punk and art-rock with lyrical, desert-like tension; WOW, a cult band from the Roman scene, with their nocturnal, sensual songs tinged with psychedelia.
Two special projects by Bruno Dorella, musician, sound designer and founder of OvO, who will provide a live score for “Il Gigante di Ravenna”, the historic 1957 documentary directed by Fernando Cerchio and dedicated to the birth and early days of the ANIC plant; and by Adriano Zanni, photographer, field recording artist and creator of electroacoustic landscapes, who will present “ANIC”, a sonic and visual investigation of Ravenna’s industrial landscape.
“There’s something terrible about reality, and I don’t know what it is. Nobody tells me.”
