Antonello Zanda"Premio Ostana"Premio OstanaVenerdì 28 giugno 2024, ore 20:45Cinema, tv e nuovi media: l'esperienza galleseConversazione con Roger WilliamsPremio cinemaA cura di: Antonello Zandalingua galleseIl “Premio Ostana: scritture in lingua madre” è un appuntamento con le lingue madri del mondo che ogni anno riunisce a Ostana, paese occitano di 85 abitanti in Valle Po ai piedi del Monviso, autori di lingua madre da tutto il mondo, per un festival della biodiversità linguistica.Roger Williams was an executive of the Writer's Guild Of Great Britain and lives in Wales; he is an award-winning writer and producer working in both Welsh and English. He wrote and produced the Welsh-language feature films Y Sŵn (2023) and Gwledd (2021). “Y Sŵn” won the BAFTA Cymru award for best feature film in 2023 and received a nomination for the Broadcast and Celtic Media Festival awards. The horror film Gwledd premiered at the SXSW festival, is distributed in North America by IFC and in Britain by Picturehouse. He has received awards in numerous festivals including BiFAN, Motel X and Neuchâtel. His TV series “Bang” won best series at the Bafta Cymru and Celtic Media Festival in 2018, for which Williams received a nomination for the Writers' Guild of Great Britain award. His television work includes the original series “Gwaith/Cartref” and “Tir” for Welsh-language broadcaster S4C and numerous other English-language creations for broadcasters BBC and Channel4.Every language achievement is always a starting point, never a point of arrival. The political strength of a minority language is measured not only by its ability to build social and cultural cohesion, but also by the courage and determination with which it succeeds in facing the challenges of the present and the future. A language endures if it can speak to new generations and thus if it's able to regenerate and absorb new languages,meaning if it can make itself speak. Roger Williams' movies, in recounting the political struggle over the creation of the S4C television channel, with its entire programming schedule in Welsh, tells an exemplary story in this respect, not only for its own community. Because it testifies to how important a media perspective that is not purely conservative, but flexible andinnovative, politically useful in the daily struggle that languages sustain in order to maintain themselves as a historical culture and restore their own worldview.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
