LAW AND CINEMA AT MODERNISSIMO

The initiative aims to highlight how cinema and, more generally, images allow us to better 'see' the issues surrounding law and justice. Particular attention will also be focused on filmed trials, the use of images as evidence and the debate on the relationship between judge and historian. The feature films in this first cycle will be Anatomie d'une chute (by J. Triet), Il signore delle formiche (by G. Amelio) and Saint Omer (by A. Diop). Each projection - free admission with booking - will be preceded by an interdisciplinary meeting with representatives from the worlds of law and art, so as to cross perspectives and points of view. The dialogues and the screening will both take place at the cinema, in order to valorise this space of confrontation as a bridge between the University (lecturers, students and institutions) and a broader public.
