After last summer's excellent experience, "Cinemadamare" returns to Pisa for the 2022 edition of the largest international travelling gathering of young filmmakers. Directors, actors, producers, set designers and technicians from all over the world will be shooting films and videos in the city of Pisa from 3 to 9 August. After appointments in many cities and regions of Italy, next week the Cinemadamare caravan will make a stop in Pisa, with the support of the Municipality's Culture Department. The city of the Tower will thus become a huge open-air set, with dozens of troupes filming dramas, documentaries, video clips and interviews, involving the locals and promoting the city's artistic resources.
The 65 or so young artists attending the festival will produce their works, each lasting up to 10 minutes, shooting scenes in the city from 3 to 9 August. There will also be free screenings for all at the open-air cinema in the Parco delle Concette from 6 to 9 August, with a final evening in which all the films shot in Pisa by the young film-makers will be shown, with an award ceremony for the best works.
Cinemadamare, the largest international gathering of young filmmakers, and the longest campus of the film and audiovisual industry, for training, promotion and production: it takes place every year in 10 Italian regions; it lasts over 3 months; it travels over 7. 500 kilometres; it stops for a week in each stop/city; it brings with it, 65 young Italian and foreign filmmakers (more than 30 nationalities present) who shoot dozens of short films in each stop; it also offers workshops and film lessons to all; it encourages the creation of an audience for quality cinema; it promotes co-production between Italian and foreign film companies; it encourages joint work between filmmakers from different countries; it enhances Italian territories usually excluded by large-scale production, always looking for new locations.
Cinemadamare is organised in partnership with 47 film schools and universities from all continents, from Santa Monica College in Los Angeles to the South African School Of Motion Picture Medium in Cape Town, the Moscow School Of New York Media to the Mit Insistute Of Disign in New Deli, and many others. For 20 years, students from all these schools have been meeting in Italy to continue their training 'in the field', and to create the largest travelling campus for training and film production.
