The first event of the "NABA Media Explorer" array of Milan and Rome events, conceived by Vincenzo Cuccia (Media Design and New Technologies and Set Design Area Leader) to showcase the uniqueness of the Academy's Media Design and New Technologies Area, is the Milanese showcase "NABA - Percorsi d’Autore" (NABA - Author's Paths). Conceived within the Bachelor of Arts in Film and Animation of the Milan campus, from an idea by its Course Leader Alessandro Bertante, it is a collaboration with Cineteca Milano, coming to life at Cineteca Milano Arlecchino (located at Via S. Pietro all’Orto 9, Milan), offering an innovative perspective on the world of cinema through a journey among various artistic expressions and auteur sensitivities. From February to June, there will be seven public encounters, each featuring a screening and dedicated talk, featuring some of the foremost directors of contemporary Italian cinema who, moderated by Roberto Manassero and Dario Zonta (curators and NABA lecturers), will discuss the themes of their films with a particular focus on the diverse cinematic representations of the human-work relationship, between realism and visionary outlook.
