Rossella Biscotti "La cinematografia è l'arma più forte" 2007


Site-specific intervention in the cinema of the Culturcentrum Strombeek, Strombeek (BE), 2007


The text
La cinematografia e' l'arma piu' forte has been projected in the cinema shortly before the beginning of each movie. The slogan is taken by a banner that Mussolini used to inaugurate the Italian film industry Cinecittà in 1937. It was a prelude to the possibility of using cinematographic media for Mussolini’s propaganda. This installation reflects on the risk of the political and economical investment into the cultural field.
