"Medea 50 Pier Paolo Pasolini, Maria Callas e Grado" exhibition
15 June 2019
50 years after the making of the film Medea, by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Grado remembers the passage in the lagoon of the great Friulian director, Maria Callas and the whole crew that contributed to the production of the film, between July and August 1969. Many days of work to fix 14 minutes of filming on the celluloid that gave the Island of the Sun and its natural environment to international attention and the history of cinema.
To remember the great director, the City of Grado has planned to set up a photographic exhibition in the foyer of the former Crystal Cinema, the historic headquarters of the city, where the film was presented and where, later, Pasolini himself gave rise to numerous important film events. The exhibition, which will open on Saturday, June 15, aims to illustrate the meeting between artistic creation and the lagoon territory and to return the unique film situation linked to a director and an exceptional cast, ranging from Maria Callas to Giuseppe Gentile, from Laurent Terzieff to Massimo Girotti: all circumstances that helped to build the combination Medea-Grado. Among the materials on display will have a fundamental part of the images of Mario Tursi, photographer of the scene, which will be reproduced on large panels. Posters, posters and photos will be presented, as well as original envelopes of "Medea" and period materials linked to the diffusion of the film in the cinemas and on printed paper; all linked by panels with texts useful for the overall reading of the events narrated in the exhibition. The exhibition will then be accompanied by poetic and literary texts in which Pasolini described the lagoon and the processing of the film, from the letters of Maria Callas to Pasolini himself, from the stories of the Friulian artist, Giuseppe Zigaina, a great friend of Pasolini, dedicated to the film.

FRANCO CARDINI FILOSOFIAaGRADO
21 July 2019
Quest’estate “Libri e Autori a Grado” si è arricchita dell’apporto delle “ Conversazioni di filosafia” curate da Andrea Soardo e del “Salotto in spiaggia” per un’offerta ancora più varia al pubblico che partecipa a questi appuntamenti.
Ecco dunque arrivare a Grado lunedì 22 alle 18 al Velarium, Franco Cardini,storico,saggista, blogger e sicuramente il più accreditato esperto di Medio Evo e di rapporti con l’Islam.
Intervistato da Andrea Soardo, analizzerà i rapporti tra Oriente ed Occidente.
Il confronto e magari la contrapposizione tra Oriente Occidente sono antichi e possono farsi risalire alla cultura ellenica classica: cioè almeno dalle guerre persiane. Tuttavia essa varia di continuo nelle definizioni e nei contenuti: ed è appunto "occidentale" nella misura in cui è quello che prima incidentalmente poi (a partire dal XVI secolo) sempre più spesso, fino a fondare un'abitudine, si è autodefinito come Occidente. Tuttavia si tratta di una definizione ambigua e quindi fluida: ancora ai primi del Novecento essa univa Europa e America per gli europei, mentre per gli americani essa si limitava al nuovo continente ed escludeva l'Europa. Una contrapposizione, questa di "Occidente" ed "Europa", che tende a riemergere oggi, rivendicata però dagli europei stessi che intendono l'Occidente contemporaneo essenzialmente come Modernità (cioè individualismo associato al primato dell'economico-tecnologico) e tendono ad associare tali definizioni alla contrapposizione tra il dominio misto di terre e di oceani e quello della massa continentale eurasiatica, sostenuta da Carl Schmitt".
La rassegna è promossa dal Comune di Grado, assessorato alla Cultura, con il sostegno di Grado Impianti Turistici, Fondazione Antonveneta, CiviBank di Cividale, Consorzio Tutela Vini del Collio e Livio Felluga.
