On the occasion of the “Week of Italian Cuisine in the World”, scheduled from 22 to 28 November next, the Italian Cultural Institute of Rabat organised “Waiting for the Cooking Week: Cinema is served (Aspettando la Settimana della Cucina: Il Cinema e\u2019 servito)”, a review of five films, proposed from 15 to 19 November 2021, which have as a central theme or take inspiration from Italian food and culinary traditions.<\/p>\n
Today, 15 November, the first film will be screened: “I villani”, directed by Daniele De Michele (2018). It will be followed by: Tuesday 16 November, “Pranzo di Ferragosto” by Gianni Di Gregorio (2008) on Tuesday 16 November; “La mortadella”, directed by Mario Monicelli (1971) on Wednesday 17 November; “Focaccia Blues” by Nico Cirasola (2008) on Thursday 18 November; \u201cQuanto Basta”, directed by Francesco Falaschi (2028) on Friday 19 November.<\/p>\n
Food and Cinema have always been essential companions in man’s life: food is a physiological need, while Cinema satisfies the human need to escape, even if briefly, from reality. Both Cinema and food are cornerstones of social communication and relational development.<\/p>\n
On the screen, as in the kitchen, evolution is always born of experimentation. Here are some terms that we find in both areas: ‘pizza’ is the slang name for a film; the expression ‘cooking a film’ or ‘feeding it to the audience’ is commonly used; often, a film creation can be described as ‘heavy’, ‘indigestible’ or ‘syrupy’.<\/p>\n
The link between Cinema and food originated in 1895 in one of the first works of Lumi\u00e8re brothers entitled “Le r\u00e9pas de Beb\u00e8”, where a child was filmed being fed by his parents. Food thus immediately became the protagonist of the screen from the first films to the present day.<\/p>\n
The screening of each film (6 pm) at the Rabat festival will be preceded by a critical presentation. The films will remain available on a geo-blocked platform for the project’s duration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the occasion of the “Week of Italian Cuisine in the World”, scheduled from 22 to 28 November next, the Italian Cultural Institute of Rabat organised “Waiting for the Cooking Week: Cinema is served (Aspettando la Settimana della Cucina: Il Cinema e\u2019 servito)”, a review of five films, proposed from 15 to 19 November 2021, […]","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":63872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[32,6,90],"class_list":["post-64263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-retediplomatica","tag-diplomazia-culturale","tag-mediterraneo-e-medio-oriente","tag-settimana-della-cucina-italiana-mondo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64263"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64264,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64263\/revisions\/64264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
