Genre: Music + Illustrations + Q&A Open: 19:30 - 23:00 hrs Tickets: € 7,50 / Sliding scale €7,50-€12 Line up: È Piccerella Session 1: È Piccerella, by Elvira Notari (1922) VIU presents an innovative initiative dedicated to crafting and performing original live experimental music for silent films. Emphasizing a commitment to sound experimentation, we diverge from the traditional orchestral soundtracks of the silent film era. Utilizing a blend of electronic and acoustic instruments, Viu invites you on a new dimension of the cinematic experience. Beyond the realm of music, Viu is a project committed to fostering connections within the local music scene. For each new city, we invite new music artists, creating a dynamic fusion with the local culture and weaving a distinctive narrative for each performance. Our mission extends beyond music and local collaborations; Viu is dedicated to curating lms exclusively directed by women. By focusing on women directors of the silent film era, we aim to commemorate their contributions and shed light on the "invisible" women in film history. Each performance consists of the projection of silent films with live music, posters made by the illustrators and a Q&A space. VIU is an original idea of Ro Rapoport (one of the founders of Las Pibas, a cultural platform based in Barcelona that works for the presence of more women and other dissident identities in the cultural industry) in collaboration with Zumzeig (cooperative cinema located in Barcelona) È PICCERELLA, de Elvira Notari. 1922 (Duration 63 min) During the popular festivities in the city of Naples, Margaratella, a young woman who resists following the system of values and obligations imposed by the Italian society of the time, plays the role of regional femme fatale and sets in motion an amusing game of seduction with all the men she meets with the aim of taking advantage of them. The director, Elvira Notari, is considered the first female director in Italy and one of the first in the world. Her work has also been defined as a precursor of the later Italian cinematic neorealism. During the 25 years she was professionally active, she shot more than 60 feature films and about 100 documentaries. Her films are posed as realistic dramas, which she used to shoot directly on the street and often with non-professional actors. In 1930, the intervention of the Fascist censorship stopped her activity and Elvira Notari retired from cinema in Campania, where she died in 1946.
