Quand l'art permet de sublimer, de dépasser une grande souffrance : c'est le cas d'un film qui sort en salles ce mercredi 16 juillet en France, après avoir été distingué au festival de Locarno l'an dernier. Il s'agit de Kouté Vwa de Maxime Jean-Baptiste. Le cinéaste est retourné en Guyane, plus de dix ans après la mort de son cousin, Lucas Diomar, assassiné en 2012 à l'âge de 18 ans. Explorant les notions de vengeance et de pardon, il livre un film hybride entre fiction et documentaire.

Die Würfel sind gefallen! Am Dienstag, 8. Juli, erkundet Adi Küpfer zusammen mit Ihnen die Gemeinde hoch über dem Lago Maggiore. Zusammen mit unseren Hörerinnen und Hörern wollen wir diesen Sommer die Schweiz von einer überraschenden Seite entdecken. Deshalb würfeln wir Postleitzahlen und reisen dann an diese Orte. Wir sind überzeugt: Spannende Geschichten gibt es überall. Nach 4624 Härkingen, 5330 Bad Zurzach und 9231 Egg (Flawil) führt die vierte Reise von Moderator Adi Küpfer und Produzent Fabio Flepp ins Tessin. Entdecken Sie mit ihnen zusammen 6644 Orselina. Für Elena Salvioni ist Orselina ein Ort voller Energie. Insbesondere das Licht sei einmalig. Im Sommer bietet sie im Park gratis Yoga Unterricht an. Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer «bezahlen» Elena mit Früchten und Gemüse aus dem Garten. Es sei ein Geben und Nehmen. Ein friedlicher Ort, dieses Orselina. Ein Ort des Friedens, war es bereits vor 100 Jahren. Hellerleuchtet konnte man von Locarno aus den Schriftzug «PAX» auf der Wallfahrtskirche Madonna del Sasso lesen. Die Aussenminister aller europäischen Länder trafen sich anno 1925, nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs, um über den Frieden zu verhandeln. Fotograf Marco Garbani aus Orselina hat zum Jubiläum des «Patto di Locarno» eine Fotoausstellung kuratiert. Eine Piazza, auf welcher sich das gesellschaftliche Leben abspielt, hat Orselina nicht. Die Einheimischen, sie treffen sich jeden Abend ab fünf Uhr vor dem Dorfladen zum «tavolino alle cinque», zum Aperitivo. Das Lebensmittelgeschäft von Orselina existiert seit 75 Jahren. Inka Tripkovic hat ihm neues Leben eingehaucht. Derweil beherrscht Yvan Cecchettin die Königsdisziplin der Backkunst. Er produziert mit Leidenschaft Panettone. Der Prozess dauert mehrere Tage. Und haben Sie gewusst, dass ein Panettone zum Auskühlen kopfüber aufgehängt werden muss? Und ja, wären noch die Mönche ... Sechs Kapuziner leben noch im Kloster der Wallfahrtskirche Madonna del Sasso. Einer von ihnen ist Bruder Mauro Jöhri. Nachdem er viele Jahre als oberster Kapuziner den Orden im Vatikan geführt hatte, entschied er sich, als einfacher Mönch zurück nach Orselina zu kommen. Denn Orselina sei ein magischer Ort, ein Kraftort.

Im Oktober 1925 treffen sich in Locarno Vertreter Deutschlands, Frankreichs und weiterer europäischer Mächte – in einem kleinen Schweizer Kurort mit großer Bedeutung. Sie wollen Frieden sichern, Grenzen garantieren und den Weg frei machen für eine neue europäische Ordnung. Es ist ein diplomatisches Experiment – mit Frühstücksgesprächen, nächtlichen Verhandlungen und erstmals eingesetzten Konferenzdolmetschern.

Con il professor Renato Martinoni, già docente universitario di letteratura e di cultura italiana, e con Stefano Vassere, linguista e direttore delle Biblioteche cantonali, desideriamo oggi ricordare la figura del capriaschese Gabriele Alberto Quadri, scomparso sabato scorso all'età di 75 anni. Dopo gli studi a Locarno, Zurigo e Pavia e dei soggiorni di studio a Ginevra, Malaga e Siena, è stato per quarant'anni docente di italiano e francese in diversi ordini di scuola. Ha collaborato con riviste ticinesi e internazionali. È stato poeta in dialetto e in lingua e prosatore; ha scritto per il teatro ed è stato anche è attore radiofonico, partecipando a diverse trasmissioni e ad approfondimenti della nostra Radio. Alcuni suoi testi sono stati musicati. Nel 1986 ha ottenuto il Premio Schiller per la raccolta Ra schérpa fòra di scaff e nel 2003 il Premio Insubria per la satira Maledictus structus ventris tui!

Quella del primo maggio era cronaca: un incendio nel cuore di Locarno ha distrutto uno stabile. Tra le realtà colpite, anche un atelier: un luogo di lavoro, di incontro, di creazione. Oggi, nel nostro spazio dedicato ai nuovi inizi, ascoltiamo chi quell'atelier lo aveva costruito con cura: una restauratrice, un grafico-incisore, un ingegnere urbanista. Insieme formavano una piccola realtà indipendente, unica nel suo genere.Ora devono ricominciare. Una storia che ci ricorda che a volte i nuovi inizi non li scegliamo…ma possiamo decidere come affrontarli.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this Episode, Emily chats with "The Button Man", Harlem artist Beau McCall, an artist renowned for his unique use of buttons in wearable and visual art. McCall's work is featured in prominent collections such as New York's Museum of Arts and Design and London's Victoria and Albert Museum. McCall recounts his upbringing in Philadelphia, his move to Harlem, and his early inspirations. He explains how his fascination with buttons began with his mother's collection and grew through various craft classes. McCall shares memories of his artistic evolution, his experiences with the Harlem community, and the personal significance of his work, including tributes to friends lost to AIDS. The episode concludes with McCall's advice to aspiring artists and a nod to his ongoing support from his mother.About Artist Beau McCall :Drawing inspiration from the vast button collection of his mother and family, Beau McCall creates wearable and visual art by applying clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. With deliberate focus the buttons are arranged to stimulate one's curiosity and imagination, while simultaneously drawing attention to the unique history of buttons. Thereby McCall's work generates a discussion surrounding many topics such as pop culture and social justice.McCall began his professional career in Harlem in the 1980s after arriving from his native, Philadelphia with nothing more than a few hundred dollars, a duffel bag, and buttons. Circa 1988 he made his critically acclaimed wearable art debut at The Harlem Institute of Fashion (HIF) show for HARLEM WEEK. McCall went on to become an established force within HIF's Black Fashion Museum collective presenting at their shows consecutively through circa 1995, as well being featured in their museum exhibitions and prestigious events. During this time, McCall's visually captivating work was featured in the fashion bible Women's Wear Daily, on the PBS version of George C. Wolfe's The Colored Museum (1991), and in the award-winning film Quartier Mozart (1992), directed by Jean-Pierre Bekolo. The film won prizes at film festivals in Cannes, Locarno, and Montreal and was nominated, in 1993, for a British Film Institute award.McCall eventually applied his mastery of the button to visual art. Since then, he's been proclaimed by American Craft magazine as “The Button Man.” His visual and wearable art has been included in exhibitions at The Museum at FIT, Nordstrom, the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Houston Museum of African American Culture, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the Langston Hughes House in partnership with the inaugural Columbia University Wallach Art Gallery Uptown triennial and StoryCorps, and Rush Arts Gallery. McCall's work is held in the permanent collection of public institutions and by private individuals including the Museum of Arts and Design (New York), Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), The Museum at FIT (New York), Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Amistad Research Center (New Orleans), The Museum of Modern Art Library (New York), Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art (New York), Stonewall National Museum & Archives (Fort Lauderdale), and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Library (San Francisco), Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Residence, Debbie Harry of Blondie, Jeffrey Gibson, and Cristina Grajales. McCall has also been commissioned by the Museum of Arts and Design, Columbia University, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. And his wearable art can be found in gift shops including the Newark Museum of Art. McCall has been featured in the NY Times, Associated Press, NPR, L.A. Times, and more. In addition, he has served as a teaching artist at the Newark Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Harlem Arts Alliance. McCall has also created a wearable art line called, Triple T-shirts. For these pieces, he upcycles three T-shirts by combining them into one flowing garment that can be worn in six different ways. Each style—from poncho to hoodie to shawl and beyond—brings dynamic versatility to traditional T-shirts. The shirts are curated to form a narrative about various socially-conscious and lighthearted themes.In 2021, McCall released his debut artists' book titled, REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT, commissioned and published by SHINE Portrait Studio@ Express Newark, Rutgers University-Newark. The book honors the legacy of ten of McCall's deceased friends through collages composed of archival photos and images from his button artwork. The collages capture the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, from Philadelphia to New York, during the LGBTQ+ rights movement, the height of disco music and the AIDS crisis.In 2024, McCall debuted his first-ever retrospective and exhibition catalog titled, Beau McCall: Buttons On! at Fuller Craft Museum. The exhibition is currently on a nationwide tour.Through his work, McCall remains committed to channeling and contributing to the universal cultural legacy one button at a time.Visit Beau's Website:  BeauMcCall.ComFollow Beau on Instagram: @Beau_McCallFor more on Beau's exhibit "Buttons On!"

In burocratese viene chiamata “realizzazione del nodo intermodale alla stazione FFS di Locarno-Muralto”, nel concreto si tratta di dare una nuova fruibilità all'intero comparto, che rappresenta pur sempre il terminale di Alptransit nel Locarnese. Ogni giorno vi transitano circa 17mila500 passeggeri e 20mila veicoli privati.Numeri che pesano sempre più sulla stazione ferroviaria e sulla viabilità di questo quartiere, situato in territorio di Muralto ma a due passi dal lago Verbano e dal centro storico di Locarno, una delle maggiori mete turistiche del Canton Ticino. Dopo discussioni, petizioni e progetti, che si protraggono ormai da oltre dieci anni, il Gran Consiglio ha deciso lo scorso mese di settembre di dare il proprio via libera alla realizzazione di questo nuovo nodo intermodale, voluto anche per facilitare ancor più l'utilizzo dei mezzi pubblici. Un progetto che prevede un investimento totale di 16 milioni di franchi - 7 versati dal Canton Ticino mentre oltre 5 giungeranno dalla Confederazione - contro cui però è stato lanciato un referendum dal comitato “Salviamo Viale Cattori”. Quasi 10mila le firme raccolte da chi ritiene che questo progetto sia troppo “impattante e penalizzante per territorio, ambiente e sicurezza”.Si voterà il tutto il Ticino, il prossimo 15 di giugno. Noi ne discuteremo con:- Renza De Dea, prima coordinatrice del comitato “Salviamo Viale Cattori” - Cristina Zanini Barzaghi, gran consigliera e co-presidente del comitato “Sì alla porta d'accesso del Locarnese” undefined

Lo Que Nos Cuenta El Cuento - La mendiga de Locarno, Heinrich von Kleist by Radiotelevisión de Veracruz

Johan Nijenhuis is filmproducent en -regisseur. Na de Filmacademie werd hij showrunner van series als 'Westenwind' en 'ZOOP'. In 2001 maakte hij zijn regiedebuut in de bioscoop met ‘Costa!', en daarna volgden zestien Gouden Films. Een prijs die Nederlandse speelfilms ontvangen zodra ze 100.000 bioscoopkaartjes hebben verkocht. Met ‘Foeksia de Miniheks' won hij Beste Jeugdfilm op het Locarno film festival, en ‘De Beentjes van Sint Hildegard' won in 2020 de prijs van de Nederlandse filmkritiek. Ook scoorde hij grote hits met ‘Verliefd op Ibiza' en ‘Toscaanse Bruiloft'. In zijn tweeëntwintigste film ‘Dochters' wil protagonist Vera de bucketlist van haar overleden man afmaken. Ze schrijft zichzelf en haar drie dochters in voor een marathon, wat leidt tot een onverwachte emotionele reis. Femke van der Laan gaat met Johan Nijenhuis in gesprek.

Momento "epico" a Hollywood: cosa ci fanno insieme i leggendari Steven Spielberg, George Lucas e Francis Ford Coppola? I tre si sono incontrati per "incoronare" Coppola, consegnandogli il prestigioso Life Achievement Award dell'American Film Institute. Volgendo lo sguardo all'Europa, la Primavera porta con se' i più famosi Festival del cinema, ma non sarà solo cinema d'autore "alto": a Locarno verrà premiato anche Jackie Chan! Ma prima, sarà tempo di Cannes, dove è stata recentemente annunciata la giuria, di cui farà parte anche la nostra Alba Rohrwacher. Passando alle novità del momento, per chi desidera calarsi nell'atmosfera attuale arriva su Sky "Conclave", il film sull'elezione del Papa, mentre su Netflix è arrivata la quinta e ultima stagione di "You". Mentre è ufficialmente in lavorazione il suo remake, per la rubrica "le 5 cose che non potete non sapere" è la volta di "Miami Vice", serie cult degli anni '80. E a proposito di "rifacimenti", mentre Kerry Washington e Natalie Chaidez stanno lavorando al reboot di "Desperate Housewives", "Wisteria Lane", Prime Video è all'opera sulla serie live action "Pacific Rim". E ancora, J.J. Abrams e Josh Holloway, dopo aver già lavorato insieme in "Lost", sono in uscita negli USA con la nuova serie "Duster".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A version of this essay was published by rediff.com at https://www.rediff.com/movies/column/what-made-shaji-n-karun-a-master-film-maker/20250429.htmJust last week, I read in the local Trivandrum papers about Shaji N Karun receiving an award in the name of J C Daniel, an early pioneer in Malayalam films. That's when I realized that the master film-maker had named his house ‘Piravi' in memory of his extraordinary directorial debut in 1988. It brought back a flood of memories of that film, whose title means ‘birth', but whose theme was death and loss.Now comes the news of his own death, aged 73, from cancer. Om shanti, Godspeed, Shaji, as you join the Great White Whirligig in the Sky!I met the director twice: once, about fifty years ago, when we both were volunteers for a local science fair, and he was a student at the Film and Television Institute in Pune; and then in 1988 or 1989, when he spoke at the San Francisco International Film Festival, where ‘Piravi' was featured. The film had won the Cannes Camera d'Or-Mention d'Honneur, among many other prizes, including at Locarno, Edinburgh and so on: possibly more than any other Indian film.What impressed me about his talk was his humility and reticence: even though he was an acclaimed cinematographer and ‘Piravi' was received very well, he was quiet, even shy. He explained his use of the blue tints in the film: it is the color of apasmaram, he said, using the Malayalam/Sanskrit word for madness, which the father of the ‘disappeared' youth in the film falls into.Even though he made several other films, and he was the cinematographer who shot most of the works of legendary Malayalam film-maker G Aravindan, it is ‘Piravi' that marked the zenith of his career. I can say without hesitation that it is stunningly powerful; as an art-film fan, I have seen hundreds of superb, even outstanding films, but this one, alone, spoke to me. I wept seeing it, tears streaming down my cheeks. No other film has ever affected me so much.For a Malayalam speaker and one who had seen the Emergency, it was a viscerally powerful experience, especially because it was based on the real-life story of Rajan, a ‘disappeared' engineering student. As I wrote some years ago in https://www.rediff.com/news/column/emergency-why-rajans-story-resonates-with-me/20150625.htm I could easily have been another Rajan, another number.Rajan's character is never seen in the film, except as a child; his father, played by octogenarian Premji, fills the screen with his presence, his anguish, at the loss of his only son born late in his life. And in real life, the father, Professor Eachara Warrier, who was one of my heroes, https://www.rediff.com/news/2006/apr/24rajeev.htm spent the rest of his life demanding justice from the uncaring State.The film's minimalist dialogue and focus on human despair, grief, and the struggle against systemic injustice resonate universally, transcending cultural boundaries. Its subtle yet poignant exploration of loss makes it relatable to global audiences.Apart from the universal message of grief, there is also the story of the father-son relationship. I was strongly affected by passages from the film where you realize how much the predatory State took from the father, as per the Hindu tradition. I remembered my father 10,000 miles away in India, who too had no son to help him.The film begins with an invocation from the Kaushitaki Upanishad; a dying man bequeaths his life to his son. The son accepts each of his gifts."My speech in you I would place". "Your speech in me I take.""My sight in you I would place." "Your sight in me I take.""My mind in you I would place." "Your mind in me I take.""My deeds in you I would place." "Your deeds in me I take.""My vital breath in you I would place". "Your vital breath in me I take.""May glory, luster and fame delight in you." "Heaven and desires may you obtain."And from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, "Whatever wrong has been done by him, his son frees him from it all... By his son, a father stands firm in this world."Personally for me, I think the film was a catalyst in my decision to return to India, specifically back to Kerala. Another Indian friend (I think he was a Telugu) who saw it with me in San Francisco said, “I'm so tempted to chuck it all and go live in a Kerala village”.Apart from the overwhelming sense of loss, the film is remarkable from two points of view: visual storytelling and innovative techniques.The muted lighting, traditional architecture, and atmospheric elements like rain mirror the characters' emotional turmoil. The film's stillness and sparse dialogue amplifies the actors' expressive performances, particularly their eyes, conveying deep emotion. The monsoon rain is a palpable presence with the sense of anticipation as we wait for its arrival, as the father waits for his son every day at the bus-stop till the last bus; heart-breakingly, we in the audience know he will never return. And then later, when the father falls in the rain, the ferryman's dilemma: if he helps him up, his boat will drift away. The ferryman's compassion prevails and he rushes to help.The film's use of weather, sound (e.g., the bubbling of water evoking anxiety), the simple everyday beauty of Kerala village life, and deliberate pacing created a meditative yet intense atmosphere. The use of color to invoke emotion (as in traditional ragas) is another technical innovation.With ‘Piravi', Shaji N Karun joined the select group of great masters of film: film as witness, sakshi, film as literature. Malayalam once upon a time used to produce such films. Today it is only mindless violence, politics, and grotesque humor: the films have no soul, although they are technically quite good. With Shaji's passing, and earlier with his mentor Aravindan's untimely death, an era is coming to an end.976 words, Apr 29, 2025 This is a public episode.

“Mi chiamo Niele Toroni. Sono nato il 15 marzo del 1937, a Muralto, in riva al Lago Maggiore. In Ticino, la Svizzera italiana a sud delle Alpi, che in primavera si riempie di camelie e mimose in fiore. Ci sono anche palme, banani che non riescono a far maturare le banane, limoni che a volte fanno centotrentanove limoni e finiscono sui giornali”. Anche in queste parole si coglie l'ironia che contraddistingue Niele Toroni, artista ticinese con una carriera internazionale, che viene omaggiato in queste settimane da due musei ticinesi – dove mancava da oltre trent'anni - e con una pubblicazione che include i suoi scritti e un'intervista inedita di Bruno Marcadé, storico e critico d'arte, amico di lunga data del pittore che era partito dal Ticino negli anni Sessanta per Parigi. Da allora Toroni si è affermato come uno degli esponenti delle avanguardie europee del dopoguerra. Diventato celebre per le sue “Impronte di pennello n. 50 a intervalli regolari di 30 centimetri”, un gesto artistico soltanto in apparenza ripetitivo. A Voci dipinte ospiti Mara Folini, direttrice del Museo comunale d'arte moderna di Ascona e Sébastien Peter, direttore dei Servizi culturali della città di Locarno. Bernard Marcadé ci guida attraverso la prima retrospettiva svizzera dedicata a Niele Toroni, allestita al Museo Casa Rusca di Locarno, che riunisce opere realizzate nell'arco di sessant'anni.

Tourné deux ans après "Charles mort ou vif", première fiction du cinéaste romand, Léopard dʹor à Locarno, "La Salamandre" est un chef-dʹœuvre qui appartient au mouvement du Nouveau Cinéma Suisse, celui du Groupe 5 qui incarne un renouveau dʹécriture cinématographique à lʹaube des années 1970. Bulle Ogier, Jean-Luc Bideau et Jacques Denis y composent un trio étonnant, surfant sur les promesses de mai 68, sur la liberté, touchant du doigt le désenchantement postrévolutionnaire des années 1970. Film en couleur noir et blanc est-il annoncé dans le générique, tourné en 16 mm, gonflé en 35 mm, "La Salamandre" compose avec ses tous petits moyens de production pour nous offrir un regard sur la Suisse de 1971. Cʹest un regard presque documentaire, drôle, tendre, acéré aussi, nostalgique, que nous propose le cinéaste. Le film rencontre un succès considérable en Suisse et à lʹétranger, en France comme aux Etats-Unis. Il est temps dʹaller à la rencontre des protagonistes de cette histoire: Rosemonde, Pierre et Paul, et de refaire… un peu… le monde à la manière de Tanner.

Bureaucratic Archaeology: State, Science and Past in Postcolonial India (Cambridge UP, 2022) presents a novel ethnographic examination of archaeological practice within postcolonial India, focusing on the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as a site where scientific knowledge production intersects with state bureaucracy. Through granular analysis of ASI's quotidian operations, this monograph demonstrates how archaeological micro-practices materially influence the construction of political and religious identities, while simultaneously serving as empirical evidence in India's highest judicial proceedings. This unprecedented study illuminates the epistemological ecology of postcolonial knowledge production from within the bureaucratic apparatus itself. As the first book-length investigation of archaeological practice beyond the Euro-American tradition, it reveals how non-Western archaeological theory and methodology generate distinct forms of knowledge, thereby expanding our understanding of archaeology's role in postcolonial state formation. About the Author: Ashish Avikunthak is a distinguished scholar working at the intersection of archaeology, cultural anthropology, and avant-garde filmmaking. He is Professor of Film Media at the University of Rhode Island's Harrington School of Communication, where his research bridges theoretical and practical approaches to cultural production. His experimental films have been exhibited internationally at prestigious institutions including Tate Modern, Centre Georges Pompidou, and Pacific Film Archive, as well as major film festivals such as Rotterdam and Locarno.

The beverage brand's former CMO, which holds drinks like Aperol, breaks down why events like Coachella, the US Open and Cannes Film Festival are so important to its marketing strategy. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.[00:00:00] Damian: I'm Damian Fowler [00:00:01] Ilyse: And I'm Ilyse Liffreing [00:00:02] Damian: And welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:00:05] Ilyse: This week, we're delighted to talk with Julka Villa, the former Global CMO of Campari Group. [00:00:11] Damian: Founded in 1860, Campari is a household name in the global spirits industry with a portfolio of over 50 brands across world markets. [00:00:20] We're talking familiar names like Aperol, Sky Vodka, Wild Turkey Bourbon, and Courvoisier. [00:00:27] Ilyse: Julka is a marketing veteran with over 25 years of experience in the alcoholic beverage and beauty industries. A specialist in consumer focused brands. [00:00:37] Damian: Julka is responsible for the marketing vision, strategy, and execution of the Campari Group's brands. [00:00:44] At the same time, she has a bird's eye view of the company's worldwide presence, coordinating teams based in Milan, Paris, and New York. [00:00:52] Ilyse: We started by asking her about how she balances the Campari legacy with keeping its brands relevant for today's [00:01:00] consumers. [00:01:02] Damian: So Campari has a rich heritage. The company is now 164 years old. How do you go about balancing its legacy, the preservation of its legacy while keeping the brand modern and relevant for today's consumers? [00:01:18] Julka: I think that, if we go back to the roots of the Campari brand, about being [00:01:23] bold, about being visionary about investing in arts, think about Europe, Italy in the second half of the 19th century. There were so, few brands really investing Campari was one of the first really interacting with artists [00:01:42] and designers and giving them the freedom to, the brand in the way they saw it. if you look at how we started, you how we moved forward along our, our history. You can see that, the [00:02:00] twenties and thirties of last we start cooperating with cinema, really asking the people, working in the industries and producing the movies, postcards, producing, you know, designs and drawings for us. [00:02:16] You can see that, fast forward, to the eighties. We start cooperating with one of the greatest filmmakers. In the world, Federico Fellini, that was a big fan of the Campari brand. He was drinking Campari and he decided to cooperate with us to produce an advertising for the brand. And Fellini was the first filmmaker we cooperated with. But then, we kept this partnership, for instance, with Paolo Sorrentino 2017. And I was personally You know, working with him, it was a fantastic experience to see an artist really bringing to life, the brand, [00:03:00] respecting the legacy, but at the same time, renovating, since you're asking me how a brand modern still loyal to its root, it was amazing to see how we could kept the daring, attitude of the brand alive. According to his own style.  [00:03:20] Ilyse: Wow,that is super cool. so is pop culture still as important to the brand even today?  [00:03:27] Julka: Absolutely. Absolutely. So, and this is so important for the Campari brand, but for many other brands part of our portfolio, just for you to know, we have more than 50 brands. in our portfolio, and if you'd like we can talk about some of them, but when it, comes to Campari, think about the fact that our partnership with arts, have been, more recently renovated in our, cooperation with the major film festivals, in the world. We, are [00:04:00] partners of the Cannes Film the Locarno, in Berlinale. weclosed the first, year of partnership with the Toronto Film that's definitely a modern way to the brand, extremely aspirational, but still to get in touch with so many consumers and possible advocates of the brand. One of the things we really care about is not just to communicate our brands, but to assure our consumer to consume our brands throughout the signature cocktails in the best way possible and definitely feel festival for us are a huge opportunity to provide liquid tulips, as we say, to our consumers current and future.  [00:04:47] Damian: What's interesting is with these different brands, you're sort of talking about how they're valued differently in different markets. that's very interesting to me. How do you know and prioritize [00:05:00] which brands work best in which countries?  [00:05:04] Julka: We have, well identified, what we call the global brands. The brands that should be built everywhere in the world. Of course step by step and respecting the life stages, the brand is in a specific geography. And definitely the one I mentioned so far, are global brands. And so also global priorities, for the company. And then, depending on the area of the world, the characteristics of the market and the consumers, each individual, operating company, can, compose, portfolio, to have the best performance on the market. But definitely there are priorities everybody to focus  [00:05:51] Damian: if you think about the United States, is there a sort of priority? [00:05:55] Julka: Yeah,  [00:05:56] Damian: Leading brand here. [00:05:58] Julka: definitely, [00:06:00] uh, the priority for the United our giant aperitif brands, such as Campari Aperol, Grand Manier, Wild Turkey, Espolon, and of course, the local team is really excited to rebuild the Courvoisier brand. always acquisition we have just finalized. [00:06:21] Damian: Yeah, each of those brands has its own kind of, whole kind of narrative around them, I imagine. But I wanted to ask you actually a little bit about, The current moment that we're in, which we're seeing a kind of a lot of debate around alcohol versus no alcohol consumption, particularly when it comes to like Gen Z demographics. I mean, how do you think about and navigate these perception shifts?  [00:06:47] Julka: That's a very that's a very interesting question. And of course, as you can imagine, we have been spending a lot of time and resources really to dig deep into these shift and [00:07:00] transformation in a way of our consumer ships. One thing that is not that evident to, to everybody is that differently from the past, there is a sort of coexistence of, people drinking alcoholic products and non alcoholic products, depending on the moment they are in, the people they are with, what they have to do the day after. [00:07:23] And this kind of consciousness and, control on what to choose is even stronger in younger consumers as you were mentioned so they are more conscious they don't they are not you know afraid to make a choice that could be out of  [00:07:43] their are pool of friends. Everybody's drinking something alcoholic There's no problem at all for one of them to say “Look tomorrow I have to wake up very early I have a very important day I prefer to, to opt for a choice, a non alcoholic choice.” So more than a counter position [00:08:00] today, we see the coexistence, of these kind of choices, which is quite interesting, honestly, also because it gives us the opportunity to be more, mindful and, intentional in developing also the part of our portfolio, which is non alcoholic. For instance, we have a product which is an extremely strong product in Italy and definitely in a phase of conquering of continental Europe is, the name of the product is Crodino and is definitely our non alcoholic, kind of spritz. is a product that was invented and launched in the market, in 1965. [00:08:39] So this is a little bit a testament, to the personality of the company, wanting really to push boundaries. And actually we are preparing the launch of these fantastic product also in the U S, that we plan for next year.  [00:08:54] Ilyse: So it sounds like Campari really anticipated this trend of non alcoholic [00:09:00] beverages in a sense.  [00:09:02] Julka: Yeah, that's, that's correct. That's correct.  [00:09:05] Damian: I'm just curious on that point, you know, as a marketer, you must get lots of data back in terms of like, who's drinking what, maybe by generation, maybe by geography even. I'm interested to know, do you kind of look at that in terms of strategizing and find the discrete markets?  [00:09:24] Julka: even if, with the passing of the years, what we, really is of people. So demographics are not, gender or age brackets are not the main elements we look for because what really counts. Today is the mindset and the attitude of people, for instance, if I think about a product like Aperol with these with its signature cocktail, Aperol can see across generations drinking this product and across age brackets is the mindset. [00:09:57] And you would be amazed how people approaching Aperol [00:10:00] Spritz, enjoying Aperol Spritz, they really have in common, the way they appreciate life and what they are looking for in that specific moment. Either they are, 25 or 60. So there are also, a number of cross generational, alcoholic beverage experiences, and so the way we look at data is really about the motivation and the attitude of people when they are about to make a choice.  [00:10:27] Ilyse: Yeah, that kind of, shift towards mindset over demographics probably helps a lot when it comes to just I guess prioritizing channels for the brand and where to reach those audiences because I know in a lot of the times like Millennials and Gen Zers are in like social media and usually that's not an option when it comes to alcohol brands, is, so is the brand finding other channels to be just as effective, in reaching that kind of mindset that it's [00:11:00] after. [00:11:00] Julka: when, I think a strong, distinctive characteristic Of our marketing and activation strategies, really investing very seriously in, in events, because definitely there's a lot of will among consumers of all ages, really to leave, events, in person really experience, on their, skin, much more than in the past. [00:11:24] and then we amplify, if you want, through social media, those events. But, a big part of our investment. is really, put on organizing, these kind of events. When we, when it comes to the U. S., think about Coachella, which is, more than a music festival, is a lifestyle festival, as we all know. [00:11:43] Think about the U. S. Open. uh, but also if we go on the other side of the world, in the APAC region, think about, The Australian Open, which is for us a, opportunity to reach so many consumers. about [00:12:00] hundreds of thousands live offering our best signature cocktail in our, fantastic lounger and then we can definitely amplify this content on a number of social media where. alcoholic beverage can, have a direct relationship, with their consumers. So for us, it's always a mix. we really believe that we have winning products, very straightforward drinking strategy, and that's why we care so these to life in real life for we don't see this business as happening just, just virtually. Definitely.  [00:12:42] How do you kind of maintain and sort of keep tabs, as it were, on people who are loyal to the brands that you market? [00:12:52] definitely over the yearsWe invested and we improved, our, CRM, capacity, so [00:13:00] throughout, social media and massively through events, we gather as much as possible information about our consumers so that, we can definitely keep them, up to date. On our, yearly, program, but also we can establish a more direct dialogue. [00:13:18] Sometimes we consult them, a part of them for new projects. we listen to them, ask them questions about, trends, want to know more and I think that, especially when it comes to a lab important. [00:13:39] Feel part of a feel, really listen to is something as important as enjoying your favorite, brand and your [00:13:50] Damian: And what's interesting to me is I was thinking about this because about, maybe 12 years ago, I have a friend from Venice who lives in New York and we went to a [00:14:00] restaurant and she ordered an Aperol and at that, point it wasn't very, nobody really knew much about it here. [00:14:06] And since then, of course, it's huge. It's like a probably one of the most popular, cocktails around. I was just at the U. S. Open in the summer and I could see, your your [00:14:16] plaza there with Aperol everywhere. I guess it was, there's a sponsor, a partnership  [00:14:20] Julka: Mm hmm.  [00:14:21] Damian: But my question is, how did you could you walk us through how you, built that awareness from, that moment, however many years ago when it wasn't such a big, obviously big in Venice, she said it was the Venetian drink. [00:14:34] So I was like, Oh, that's interesting. [00:14:39] Julka: yes, I am. 10, 12 years ago, not only in the U. S., but in many other places outside Europe, definitely it was not established. you know, staple it is to die. and at the very beginning, we really faced, some very basic, difficulties. I have to say, it was not easy, to start [00:15:00] talking about, a signature cocktail that, needed, a bottle of Prosecco to be open, to be prepared because. [00:15:07] You know, if you are familiar with sparkly wines, the problem with it is that if you open it and you use just a little part and then you keep the bottle for a couple of days, the carbonation will just, yes, go away. So it was really. a very precise, consistent, and stubborn work of education. [00:15:28] There's just one certainty about education, which is that, you know, when you started that you will never know when you will finish. And actually it's a never ending story in a way. So we, in the past we put, and we keep putting a lot of, effort and an investment in educating the trade the bartenders bar owners But also the final consumers because at the end if the final consumer knows [00:15:52] the best way to prepare an upper spritz They will be your advocate and it happened to me so many times in the past [00:16:00] when I was receiving at the table in upper spritz that was not preparing the way It should have been, I was going back to the bar and I was saying there's something wrong with my cocktail. [00:16:13] it's a double, a double direction  [00:16:16] Julka: Yeah,  [00:16:18] efforts. And, Also, a very important part is, what we call, the oil spill approach. What does it mean? We start with the city, a major city, we start with the specific neighbors. and key on trade outlets in this neighbor. [00:16:39] We build a relationship of partnership. We invest on these venues and we create the phenomenon of the cocktail and then we expand. So distribution and presence comes just [00:16:52] after having started trend with a very high level, of the serve in a smaller [00:17:00] number of venues. [00:17:01] This, has been the approach in the U. S. and in every other part of the world. You mentioned Venice, which is the place where the brand really, started being known and appreciated and, recognized as, the champion of aperitif. But the phenomenon of Aperol Spritz started in Venice, expanded to the Veneto region, which is the region of Venice, and then expanded Milan and from Milan to the rest of Italy. [00:17:28] So the oil spill approach, as we call it, has always been, front and center of the strategy, of, And it's building.  [00:17:38] Ilyse: So interesting. when you think of Campari brands, it also sorts of implies Like a level of sophistication. in a sense, are marketing just drinks or is it something more, I don't know, like lifestyle?  [00:17:53] Julka: definitely. I think that,our brands are starting from, The most important ones really [00:18:00] stand for a certain lifestyle. you think about campari, it really represents the Milan. And, the lifestyle of the city. If you, think about aperol, you're talking about a more democratic sort of brand, really more casual. welcome. and, So they, [00:18:21] reflect a way of living and today even more important. If you think about the trend of escapism, traveling without traveling. I need a break. I need a moment for myself of real enjoyment with my friends. [00:18:36] brands like this, and they are signature cocktail, let's say Aperol Spritz for Aperol, Negroni, for instance, for Campari makes you really full for half hour, one hour you're spending with your friends in another place. So they really stand for a way of living for a place and for a moment in life where you really, recharge your batteries and, [00:19:00] you dedicate really a true moment to yourself.  [00:19:03] Julka: And that's it for this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:19:05] Damian: We'll be back next week, so stay tuned. [00:19:08] Ilyse: The Current Podcast's theme is by Love Caliber.

La voce di Oliviero Toscani conservata nelle Teche RSI ci aiuta a percorrere la carriera professionale unica e irripetibile di questo protagonista della cultura e della comunicazione degli ultimi sessant'anni.Dalla fotografia al cinema, dalla pubblicità alla moda, Toscani ha lasciato un segno indelebile, controverso ma efficace di denuncia, utilizzando l'immagine e rappresentando la realtà. I suoi scatti non sono mai stati banali. Semplici forse ma in grado di fare pensare: una nascita, un uomo nudo, una donna nera intenta ad allattare un neonato bianco, sono alcuni esempi di una lista lunghissima di immagini iconiche. Laser non dimentica il lungo rapporto di Toscani con la Svizzera. Dai quattro anni passati a Zurigo alla Scuola di Arte grafica, che per sua stessa ammissione ha fatto la differenza in un mondo – quello della fotografia – dove altrimenti si imparava il mestiere solo praticandolo, fino alle esposizioni a Chiasso, alla partecipazione ai festival cinematografici a Locarno e Bellinzona, alle innumerevoli presenze sui canali radio e TV della RSI.In fondo la vecchiaia non è altro che il castigo di essere ancora viviundefined

1) Lʹexposition Immersum à Genève qui retrace 10 ans de recherches archéologiques en Grèce Lʹexposition Immersum retrace 10 ans de recherches archéologiques menées en Grèce par des scientifiques de lʹUniversité de Genève. Particularité de ces recherches : elles sont sous-marines. Les vestiges ont été petit à petit submergés par la monter des eaux à la fin de la période glaciaire, il y a environ 10 000 ans. Retour sur le début de ces recherches il y a 10 ans et sur les derniers résultats présentés dans lʹexposition. 2) Pourquoi l'observatoire de Locarno compte et dessine manuellement les tâches solaires? Direction le centre astronomique de Locarno, la Specola Solare Ticinese. Lʹobservatoire détermine lʹindice de Wolf, lʹindice de lʹactivité du soleil. Et rien nʹa changé depuis 1957 : les tâches solaires sont comptées et dessinées manuellement. 70 ans que cette tradition se perpétue! Mais dans quel but?!

Dans cet épisode, nous explorons le parcours et l'héritage d'Aristide Briand avec trois invités : Patrice Bulting, Christophe Bellon, et Jean-Michel Guieu. Aristide Briand (1862-1932), figure emblématique de la vie politique française du début du XXe siècle, a marqué l'histoire par son engagement pour la paix et sa vision politique unique. Grâce aux récits de nos invités, nous découvrons les multiples facettes de cet homme d'État et les initiatives qui ravivent sa mémoire aujourd'hui. Patrice Bulting, président de l'association Aristide Briand, nous présente le projet de réinstallation du buste de Briand à Saint-Nazaire, 90 ans après sa disparition. Il revient sur les liens profonds entre Briand et sa ville natale, ainsi que sur les étapes marquantes de cette entreprise mémorielle. Christophe Bellon, historien et biographe d'Aristide Briand, éclaire les moments clés de la carrière de Briand, notamment son rôle dans la loi de Séparation des Églises et de l'État et son action pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il partage également son analyse sur les qualités politiques exceptionnelles de Briand et le relatif oubli dont il a souffert auprès des historiens. Enfin, Jean-Michel Guieu, spécialiste de l'histoire de la paix dans le premier XXe siècle, met en lumière l'impact international de Briand. De son rôle à la Société des Nations à la négociation des accords de Locarno et du pacte Briand-Kellogg, il explore les efforts de réconciliation européenne et la vision fédéraliste de Briand en faveur d'une Union européenne.   Ressources Association Aristide BRIAND : http://aristidebriand.eu/ Bellon, Christophe.

Pia Marais shares insights from her filmmaking journey, including the making of her atmospheric new film “Transamazonia,” which just screened at the New York Film Festival following a Locarno world premiere. Past inspirations include Werner Herzog's “Wings of Hope” and Asif Kapadia's “Amy”.Pia's latest film explores themes of faith and family dynamics, and she discusses the complexities of casting, production, the importance of film festivals, and the ongoing challenges of securing distribution for independent films. Other topics include the evolving landscape of cinema culture, which has shifted significantly over the years with a need for more curated film experiences, as business decisions heavily influence American cinema these days. Also touched on are the differences between American and international cinema, particularly in funding and audience engagement.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

Plenty of new releases on the show today, including Canadian bands Locarno and Aerialists, as well as Cathy Jordan's Crankie Island Song Project, and Crys Matthews' Reclamation. I also had TEN PAIRS of tickets to give away to the exclusive preview showing of the new movie about Bob Dylan - A Complete Unknown. It will be shown at International Village Cinema in Chinatown on Wednesday December 4th at 7pm.

Includes brand new music from the likes of Vancouver's Robyn Lane & The Rhythm Makers, Locarno, Tinariwen, Mauro Durante & Justin Adams, Christy Moore, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, and a wonderful new album by Cathy Jordan of the Irish band Dervish. There is also a feature on the next two bands coming to The Rogue Folk Club: Italian trio Ensemble Sangineto (below) - who were the talk of the town at the Folk Alliance in Kansas City in February, with their unique blend of Celtic and Breton influences and Italian trad songs from all around the "boot" - and Linda McRae & Doug Cox - rootsy, bluesy songs from the left coast and the deep south.

Focus on "Ova", the great new album from Afro Celtic Sound System and a whole bunch of new releases I found out about from UK world music magazine Songlines. Plenty of local concert previews, too. There's also a hot new album from Vancouver's Locarno, another from Quebec's De Temps Antan, and lots more besides.

Today's episode features Vincent Grashaw and his new film 'Bang Bang', screening this week at the Deauville Film Festival following Locarno and Tribeca. Past inspiration includes ‘The Wrestler', and we share an appreciation for Spike Lee's ‘He Got Game'.Vincent talks about his connection to boxing, his casting techniques, shooting on ultra-wide lenses, and the unsung process of color grading. He also discusses his previous films and the challenges of making low-budget indie movies, emphasizing the importance of taking control of your destiny and to never give up. Vincent shares the common themes in his films, such as friendship and the impact of relationships, and we talk about the current state of the Hollywood film industry and the need for a material renaissance. What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

Ep. 262: Locarno 2024 with Keva York: Invention, Sparrow in the Chimney, Mandico, Vernier Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Before the fall schedule of festivals and new releases begins in earnest, the Locarno festival has its say with a few choice selections (last year including one of my favorites, Radu Jude's Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World). This year, I chatted about the Locarno selection with critic Keva York, who was attending the festival. We discussed a few stimulating movies including Invention (directed by Courtney Stephens), Dragon Dilatation (Bertrand Mandico), Cent mille milliards (Virgil Vernier), and The Sparrow in the Chimney (Ramon Zurcher). Please note that this episode was recorded earlier in August during the Locarno Festival. Please support the production of this podcast by signing up at: rapold.substack.com Photo by Steve Snodgrass
