Piano in the River ~ An interlude for radio by Dan Treston - winner of the Prix Italia in 1965.

Großvater und Gastwirt Ivo versteckt die Dinare im Radio. Die Großmutter bekämpft Zahnschmerzen mit Zigaretten. Die Kinder flüchten in Geheimsprachen und unter Walkman-Kopfhörer. In "Zehnfingermärchen" erzählt Manuela Tomić von der Zwischenwelt des bosnischen Flüchtlingskindes, das sie selbst einmal war. Vom Leben ihrer Eltern, die sich als LKW-Fahrer und Putzfrau in Österreich durchschlagen müssen. Von Zähnen, die durch die Süßigkeiten der bosnischen Großmutter löchrig wurden. Die Prosaminiaturen sind zuerst als Kolumnen in der Wiener Wochenzeitung "Die Furche" erschienen. Jedes Leben ist wert, erzählt zu werden. Das ist das Credo der Autorin, die Prosa, Lyrik und Hörspiele schreibt. Die "Zehnfingermärchen" setzen denen, die in der Öffentlichkeit oft unterbelichtet sind oder als Problem wahrgenommen werden, ein sprachmächtiges und augenzwinkerndes Denkmal: Migranten.

Theo Toksvig-Stewart is an internationally produced, multi-award nominated writer for stage, screen, and radio. He is a BAFTA Connect member, and an alumnus of the BBC Writersroom Drama Room, and the Minack Emerging Playwright programme. His first play 'Endless Second', which blew me away when I first saw at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2019, was nominated for the Holden Street Theatre Award and the Sit Up Award at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe. The play's adaptation for BBC Radio 4 was featured in the Observer, Sunday Times, and Mail on Sunday's Pick of the Week and received a special mention at the 2022 Prix Italia. Theo is a supremely gifted writer, and I'm very pleased to say, an extremely warm, kind and compassionate friend.

About Mark Cousins Mark is a Northern Irish-Scottish filmmaker and writer. His themes are the inspiring power of cinema, cities, walking, childhood, archives and recovery. At the start of his career he made TV documentaries on childhood, neo-Nazism and Mikhael Gorbachev. In the mid 90s he and the Edinburgh International Film Festival showed films in Sarajevo to support its besieged citizens. His first book was Imagining Reality: The Faber Book of Documentary (“Indispensible” - Times Literary Supplement). His 2004 book The Story of Film was published around the world. The Times called it “by some distance the best book we have read on cinema.” Its latest edition was published in October 2020. His 930 minute film, The Story of Film: An Odyssey (“The place from which all future film revisionism should begin” - New York Times), played in the major film festivals and cinemas, and has had an influence on film education. Michael Moore gave it the Stanley Kubrick Award, it won the Peabody Award, was BAFTA Scotland nominated, and received other prizes. In 2021 he added a sequel film, The Story of Film: A New Generation. It premiered as the launch film of Cannes, was called “poetry in motion” by the Hollywood Reporter, and “the soul of the festival” by Cannes director Thierry Frémaux. Empire magazine called it “a poetic opus” and it was nominated for Grierson award. Cousins' first feature documentary, The First Movie, about kids in Kurdish Iraq, won the Prix Italia. It was inspired by growing up in the Troubles in Northern Ireland and his passionate interest in the role cinema can play in kids' lives. In 2012 he was nominated for the London Awards for Art and Performance and the Screen International award. He was guest curator at the Eye Cinematheque in Amsterdam. His next feature film, What is this Film called Love?, played in 20 countries, at the ICA in London, and was nominated for Best Director by BAFTA Scotland. PJ Harvey called it “revelatory and inspiring”. The rock band Maximo Park wrote a song inspired by it. In 2013 he completed Here be Dragons, a film about the vital role of film archives, especially one in Albania. It won the main prize in the Romania Film Festival. In the same year he made A Story of Children and Film, which was in the official selection in Cannes. He curated Cinema of Childhood, a series of 17 films which toured the UK and Ireland for a year and was supported by the BFI. He received the Visionary Award in Traverse City and the Saltzgeber Prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Then he made Life May Be, co-directed with Iranian filmmaker Mania Akbari, and 6 Desires, an adaptation of DH Lawrence's book Sea and Sardinia. Life May Be was noted for its feminism and innovation and was called “transcendent and extraordinarily delicate”. It won the Don Quixote prize. 6 Desires: DH Lawrence and Sardinia, in which Jarvis Cocker plays the voice of DH Lawrence, had its world premiere at the London Film Festival and its international premiere at Sundance. Cousins had his first retrospective at the Wroclaw film festival. Others have followed in London, Thessaloniki, Finland and Geneva. Cousins' The Oar and the Winnowing Fan was a takeover of the DazedDigital website. His I am Belfast was his first full feature about Northern Ireland. It was released by the BFI. Variety compared it to the great director Dziga Vertov. His BBC/BFI film Atomic, a collaboration with the band Mogwai, played in Hiroshima, near Chernobyl and Coventry Cathedral and at the Edinburgh International Festival. He curated a season of films for the Romanian Cultural Institute and made a fiction film, Stockholm My Love, (starring Neneh Cherry, released by BFI). He completed Bigger than The Shining, a secret project, showable only in underground circumstances, and wrote The Story of Looking (“Like a wise man looking at the stars”, the Guardian; “Brilliant” the New York Times). It was nominated for the Saltire Award for best non-fiction book. Cousins' The Eyes of Orson Welles world premiered in Cannes and received rave reviews. His 2 hour, four-screen Storm in My Heart is about Hollywood sexism and racism. His 14 hour film Women Make Film premiered at the Venice, Toronto and Telluride film festivals, is narrated by Jane Fonda, Sharmila Tagore, Debra Winger, Adjoa Andoh, Kerry Fox and Tilda Swinton, and is showing in many countries. The Times called it “Exquisite, emotionally resonant and intellectually unassailable. Pure poetry.” It won the European Film Academy's inaugural Innovative Storytelling award, and has led to the restoration of a series of films directed by women. Two more recent films are The Storms of Jeremy Thomas, about the legendary film producer – which premiered in Cannes 2021 and won the best documentary in Spain's Dias De Cine - and The Story of Looking, in which he filters the history of looking through his own eye operation. Time Out called it “A rich cinematic journey into the art of seeing and how it connects us with culture, ourselves and each other.”  It won the Best Non-Fiction Film award at the Seville Film Festival. Cousins recently completed My Name is Alfred Hitchcock and The March on Rome, an Italian Palomar production about Mussolini and Fascism, part-shot in Cinecitta in Rome and starring Alba Rohrwacher. The latter premiered at the Venice film festival, was called “entirely arresting” by the Guardian, won the audience award for Best International Documentary in Brazil, and was nominated for a European Film Academy Award. The former premiered at the Telluride film festival. In 2022, his films were the subject of a multi screen film installation, Passé Présent Futur, at the huge Plaza cinema in Geneva, and had a retrospective at the Biograf film festival in Bologna.

He was recently given Portugal's Aurelio de Paz dos Reis international award for Outstanding Contribution to Cinema (2019), and the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies Outstanding Achievement Award for his work in screen education (2020). Mark's roles in filmmaking, education and advocacy have widened and deepened with the years. He was an early adopter of small cameras and new technology to evolve a business model for filmmaking which was sustainable, international and creatively free. He has walked across Los Angeles, Belfast, Moscow, Beijing, London, Paris, Berlin, Dakar and Mexico City. He drove from Edinburgh to Mumbai, and loves night swimming.     Mark's Info https://twitter.com/markcousinsfilm https://www.womenmakefilm.net/

"Là où se rejoignent les rivières",  création sonore d'Antoine Richard est un essai radiophonique, à mi chemin entre documentaire et fiction, qui prend sa source à Montbéliard, ville dans laquelle grand nombre de rivières ont été détournées, enfouies, canalisées... C'est une pièce qui tente de raconter ce qui relie entre-eux les habitants d'une ville, en profonde mutation, où il semble devenir de plus en plus compliqué de communiquer. Gravure à l'eau forte : Judith Bordas A travers la métaphore d'une incroyable et inexpliquée montée des rivières, elle convoque un paysage de voix d'habitant.e.s de la ville, dont les récits et histoires intimes semblent remonter à la surface à mesure que la ville disparait sous l'eau. « On dit qu'une zone de confluence est une zone de remous qu'on ne peut pas savoir jusqu'où montera l'eau que lorsqu'on ne sait pas, il est temps de formuler des questions" Là où se rejoignent les rivières est une production radiophonique de MA scène nationale. Une création sonore d'Antoine Richard  Co écrite avec Samaële Steiner - Avec les voix des habitantes et habitants : Saliou Barry, Ines Benyzid, Yolande Berda, Lahim Boudykkan, Christian Corouge, Yamina Djaber, Elisabeth Furher, Hélène Grimaud, Mario Marcon, Philippe Moroni, et Maud Serusclat-Natale -  Poème de Samaële Steiner, dit par Kaye Mortley  - Musiques : Nils Frahm, Antoine Richard, Woody Jackson - Réalisation, prises de sons, montage, mixage : Antoine Richard -  Voix générique : Amélie Sanson - Gravure à l'eau forte : Judith Bordas - Production : Radio MA - radio de création de la Scène Nationale du pays de Montbéliard Direction : Yannick Marzin - Merci à : Michael Jouffroy et Helene Bensoussan Antoine richard Formé aux arts et techniques du son à l'Ensatt  (Ecole Nationale des Arts et Techniques du Théâtre) après un cursus musical, son approche élargie de la création et de la réalisation sonore l'emmène à travailler dans différents domaines artistiques : la radio, le théâtre et la danse, la muséographie, la musique. Ses propres créations sonores explorent les territoires de l'intime, et il cherche à inventer des formes qui tendent à décloisonner les genres.  Il reçoit en 2016 le Prix Italia ainsi que le Grand Prix de la fiction radiophonique de la SGDL pour "Le chagrin, Julie et Vincent" coréalisé avec Caroline Guiela Nguyen et Alexandre Plank, puis le prix Phonurgia Nova/BnF du documentaire en 2018 pour "Sur la touche". Il travaille notamment comme créateur sonore et réalisateur indépendant pour France Culture et fait partie du collectif et ONG Making Waves. Il intervient comme formateur à Phonurgia (Arles), dans le cadre des stages de création documentaires et de nouvelles fictions sonores. Au théâtre il travaille à la création sonore de très nombreux spectacles . Il fait notamment partie de la compagnie des Hommes Approximatifs dirigée par Caroline Guiela Nguyen avec laquelle il crée les partitions sonores de différents  spectacles . Il reçoit en 2018 le prix « jeune talent » de la SACD avec l'ensemble de cette même compagnie. Il fonde en 2021 silencesplateaux.fr , association et plateforme en ligne dédiée aux professionnel.le.s de la création sonore pour la scène. Samaële STEINER -  Écrivaine et dramaturge Écrivaine et éclairagiste transgenre, elle partage son temps entre ces deux métiers. Deux pratiques qui se nourrissent, l'une l'autre, avancent ensemble. Elle participe à plusieurs projets poétiques ou théâtraux et collabore avec différents musiciens, avec d'autres auteurs ou travaille l'écriture sous forme d'ateliers et/ou de spectacle avec des amateurs, dans des formes d'écriture plus collectives .   MA SCÈNE NATIONALE - PAYS DE MONTBÉLIARD est la première scène labellisée à se lancer dans la radio de création , en permettant à des artistes / réalisateurs sonores de bénéficier de  périodes de résidence et de moyens techniques et financiers.  Dans le cadre de ce projet, Antoine Richard est venu 6 fois en résidence à Montbéliard, collaborant pour nourrir son récit avec une dizaine d'habitants du territoire (rejoints par 3 élèves d'une classe du Lycée Armand Peugeot de Valentigney) Loin de la simple valorisation d'un médium, MA a choisi d'appréhender la radio de création comme une discipline à part entière, en se focalisant sur ses auteurs et sur ce qu'ils peuvent apporter à un territoire et un projet artistique.  Les artistes-réalisateurs sont ainsi invités en résidence de création pour mener des recherches et créer des podcasts qui vont de la fiction au documentaire. Ils sont également associés aux  nombreuses actions de territoire et de transmission déployés par MA scène nationale en termes d' éducation, de recherche, de projets participatifs.

C'est une pièce qui tente de raconter ce qui relie entre-eux les habitants d'une ville, en profonde mutation, où il semble devenir de plus en plus compliqué de communiquer.   Gravure à l'eau forte : Judith Bordas A travers la métaphore d'une incroyable et inexpliquée montée des rivières, elle convoque un paysage de voix d'habitant.e.s de la ville, dont les récits et histoires intimes semblent remonter à la surface à mesure que la ville disparait sous l'eau. « On dit qu'une zone de confluence est une zone de remous qu'on ne peut pas savoir jusqu'où montera l'eau que lorsqu'on ne sait pas, il est temps de formuler des questions"   Là où se rejoignent les rivières est une production radiophonique de MA scène nationale. Une création sonore d'Antoine Richard  Co écrite avec Samaële Steiner - Avec les voix des habitantes et habitants : Saliou Barry, Ines Benyzid, Yolande Berda, Lahim Boudykkan, Christian Corouge, Yamina Djaber, Elisabeth Furher, Hélène Grimaud, Mario Marcon, Philippe Moroni, et Maud Serusclat-Natale -  Poème de Samaële Steiner, dit par Kaye Mortley  - Musiques : Nils Frahm, Antoine Richard, Woody Jackson - Réalisation, prises de sons, montage, mixage : Antoine Richard -  Voix générique : Amélie Sanson - Gravure à l'eau forte : Judith Bordas - Production : Radio MA - radio de création de la Scène Nationale du pays de Montbéliard Direction : Yannick Marzin - Merci à : Michael Jouffroy et Helene Bensoussan   Antoine richard Formé aux arts et techniques du son à l'Ensatt  (Ecole Nationale des Arts et Techniques du Théâtre) après un cursus musical, son approche élargie de la création et de la réalisation sonore l'emmène à travailler dans différents domaines artistiques : la radio, le théâtre et la danse, la muséographie, la musique. Ses propres créations sonores explorent les territoires de l'intime, et il cherche à inventer des formes qui tendent à décloisonner les genres.  Il reçoit en 2016 le Prix Italia ainsi que le Grand Prix de la fiction radiophonique de la SGDL pour "Le chagrin, Julie et Vincent" coréalisé avec Caroline Guiela Nguyen et Alexandre Plank, puis le prix Phonurgia Nova/BnF du documentaire en 2018 pour "Sur la touche". Il travaille notamment comme créateur sonore et réalisateur indépendant pour France Culture et fait partie du collectif et ONG Making Waves. Il intervient comme formateur à Phonurgia (Arles), dans le cadre des stages de création documentaires et de nouvelles fictions sonores. Au théâtre il travaille à la création sonore de très nombreux spectacles . Il fait notamment partie de la compagnie des Hommes Approximatifs dirigée par Caroline Guiela Nguyen avec laquelle il crée les partitions sonores de différents  spectacles . Il reçoit en 2018 le prix « jeune talent » de la SACD avec l'ensemble de cette même compagnie. Il fonde en 2021 silencesplateaux.fr , association et plateforme en ligne dédiée aux professionnel.le.s de la création sonore pour la scène. Samaële STEINER -  Écrivaine et dramaturge Écrivaine et éclairagiste transgenre, elle partage son temps entre ces deux métiers. Deux pratiques qui se nourrissent, l'une l'autre, avancent ensemble. Elle participe à plusieurs projets poétiques ou théâtraux et collabore avec différents musiciens, avec d'autres auteurs ou travaille l'écriture sous forme d'ateliers et/ou de spectacle avec des amateurs, dans des formes d'écriture plus collectives .     MA SCÈNE NATIONALE - PAYS DE MONTBÉLIARD est la première scène labellisée à se lancer dans la radio de création , en permettant à des artistes / réalisateurs sonores de bénéficier de  périodes de résidence et de moyens techniques et financiers.  Dans le cadre de ce projet, Antoine Richard est venu 6 fois en résidence à Montbéliard, collaborant pour nourrir son récit avec une dizaine d'habitants du territoire (rejoints par 3 élèves d'une classe du Lycée Armand Peugeot de Valentigney) Loin de la simple valorisation d'un médium, MA a choisi d'appréhender la radio de création comme une discipline à part entière, en se focalisant sur ses auteurs et sur ce qu'ils peuvent apporter à un territoire et un projet artistique.  Les artistes-réalisateurs sont ainsi invités en résidence de création pour mener des recherches et créer des podcasts qui vont de la fiction au documentaire. Ils sont également associés aux  nombreuses actions de territoire et de transmission déployés par MA scène nationale en termes d' éducation, de recherche, de projets participatifs.   Cette émission a été produite et réalisée par Muriel KS.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Ugo Mattei giurista e Wilma Labate regista. L'intervista è in Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune. In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Con Ugo Mattei e Wilma Labate parliamo di film e diritto, creatività e controllo, poesia e capitale. Il diritto si crea e si scopre da convenzioni e consuetudini sociali che il giurista definisce e trascrive. Il cinema è indissolubilmente arte e propaganda a causa dei grandi investimenti di cui necessita. Come arma nelle mani del potere che come scudo per la difesa dei più deboli, nella società governata da algoritmi il diritto non trova spazio. Il godimento dell'arte e nel cinema non è mai istituzionale ma personale, la cultura è non può essere solo mercato ma è un bene comune. Il mercato, in un certo senso come il diritto, viene costruito e naturalizzato; ma il buon diritto risiede in principi di ragionevolezza, e molto altro.

"Siamo la regione italiana che produce più energia alternativa, che ha varato un piano di decarbonizzazione della sua acciaieria più pericolosa, e infine che ha il mare più pulito di Italia, grazie agli investimenti fatti sulla depurazione delle acque”.

- Okazało się, że w Archiwum Polskiego Radia jest tak dużo wywiadów ze Stanisławem Lemem, które właściwie są nieznane, bo zostały wyemitowane na antenie tylko raz, że przyszedł nam do głowy pomysł, żeby przewodnikiem po Galaktyce Lema uczynić samego Lema - mówiła w "Wybieram Dwójkę" Izabella Mazurek, współautorka serwisu internetowego Polskiego Radia, który znalazł się na tzw. krótkiej liście nominowanych do Prix Italia w kategorii: Web Fiction.

Legendary director Peter Brook died last week at the age of 97. Brook was one of theater's most influential directors. His 1970 A Midsummer Night's Dream is among that play's most lauded and best-known productions. His 1968 book The Empty Space is a classic of theater writing. Over the course of his career, he directed actors including John Gielgud, Glenda Jackson, Ben Kingsley, Adrian Lester, Vivienne Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Paul Scofield, Patrick Stewart, and Frances de la Tour, and won multiple Tony and Emmy Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, the Praemium Imperiale, and the Prix Italia. When we spoke to Brook in 2019, his new play, Why?, co-written and co-directed by longtime collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne, was about to kick off a tour of China, Italy, and Spain, and his newest book, Playing by Ear: Reflections on Sound and Music, had just been released. Brook spoke with Barbara Bogaev about his remarkable career, his illustrious collaborators, and the process of making theater. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series.

Kim Wheeler is a Mohawk/Anishinaabe kwe who has brought positive Indigenous stories to the mainstream and Indigenous media since 1993. A Sixties Scoop survivor, Kim shared her own story in the radio documentary “Blood Money” for CBC's The Doc Project. This powerful, emotional, and raw documentary won her her third imagineNATIVE award for radio work. Find out more about that HERE. Currently Kim hosts her own show on SiriusXM - The Kim Wheeler Show. She was an integral part of the team that re-branded Canadian Indigenous Peoples Radio to The Indigiverse on SiriusXM. The channel's town hall special Turtle Island Talks was awarded the 2021 Broadcast Dialogue's best multi-market program for a large market -- less than a year before she came onboard. Find out more about Kim's show HERE. Kim works from her treehouse media office in Winnipeg on Treaty One Territory where she manages communications for the Indigenous Screen Office, curates a yearly festival for the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, teaches podcasting at the National Screen Institute, produces and hosts the podcast Auntie Up!, lectures at universities and writes for a variety of mediums. Listen to the Auntie Up! Podcast HERE. She began her journalism career at the Edmonton Journal, then worked at the Canadian Press/Broadcast News for five years before leaving to pursue marketing and publicity work with the National Film Board. She joined CBC Radio One in 2008 and produced four seasons of ReVision Quest; a radio talk show that mixed personal storytelling, current affairs, interviews and comedy while exploring issues affecting Indigenous Peoples. She was awarded a silver medal at New York Festivals and two imagineNATIVE awards for her work on ReVision Quest. She was also short-listed for a Prix Italia for her work on Indian Summer, a series that told stories and shared songs of Indigenous musicians with host Wab Kinew (Yes, the leader of Manitoba's NDP). Kim created and produced Ab-Originals – a weekly podcast of the hottest Aboriginal music in Canada on CBC Radio 3 for three seasons with a multitude of hosts. It was the precursor for CBC Music's Indigenous music community where she developed digital content and programmed a 24/7 music channel. She grew the community from under 90 artists to over 250 Indigenous artists from 2010-2013. Kim currently sits on the advisory committee for the Indigenous Music Awards and was previously a board member and music programmer for Aboriginal Music Week. She has also very recently been named to the Coach House Books Indigenous advisory board. She was the original writer/researcher for Eagle Vision's' Taken series about missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls; has authored several Indigenous role model biography booklets; has led production teams to Standing Rock, Six Nations, and Haida Gwaii; and wrote an Indigenous style guide for Chatelaine magazine. Kim was instrumental in language and policy changes at the CBC with the closing of website comments on Indigenous stories and the capitalization and move to Indigenous instead of Aboriginal. She was also part of a small group of Indigenous employees who persuaded the public broadcaster to use the term ‘survivors' instead of ‘former students' when it came to residential school stories.  She was a producer on Unreserved, the weekly hour-long show, hosted by Rosanna Deerchild. Unreserved ran regionally for 11 months before being picked up by the network to run nationally. In the three seasons on the show her work garnered her an Indigenous Music Award, a New York Festivals award and a Gabriel honourable mention. Learn more about your ad choices.

Every year, up to 50 million tons of electronic waste - computers, television sets, mobile phones, household appliances - are discarded in the developed world. Since recycling is costly, around 75% of this waste ends up being shipped to countries such as India, China or Ghana, where it is dumped illegally, polluting the environment and affecting the lives of those forced to live with it. Mike Anane, Ghana's most experienced environmental journalist goes on an investigation which begins in the heart of the City of London, takes us to Spain, Germany and Brussels, and ends at Agbogbloshie, one of the largest e-waste dumps in Africa. The film will reveal how e-waste is diverted from the legal recycling circuits in Europe and sent to the Third World, using false paperwork and with many of those in the know turning a blind eye.Jury Special Mention at the environmental Filmambiente Film Festival (Brazil) 2015Jury Special Mention Festiver 2014 (Colombia)Finalist of NHK Japan Prize 2014Prix Italia Golden Award For International TV Coproductions 2014, unanimous consensus of the jury for which the film “is public service at its best and we encourage members of the Prix Italia to join forces on more coproductions of this type.”

Luca Cari, Virgina Piccolillo"Apnea"Costa Concordia, 8 vigili del fuoco e l'impresa mai raccontataMondadorihttps://www.mondadori.it/“Siamo finalmente saliti in cima alla nave, ma non è facile starci. La nave dà grossi scossoni e restare in piedi sulla murata liscia come una lastra di ghiaccio è complicato. Il rumore del ferro che striscia contro la roccia è un gemito che dice tutto. La nave sta andando a fondo. Non so che fine faremo.” Albi. Andre. Bartolo. Beppe. Bronco. Lallo. Massi. Trap. Sono i soprannomi degli otto pompieri saliti a bordo della Costa Concordia mentre imbarcava acqua dopo un inchino suicida a soli novanta metri dall'isola del Giglio, all'altezza degli scogli della Gabbianara. Era il 13 gennaio 2012, ultima tappa della crociera “Profumo d'agrumi”. In Apnea, per la prima volta, la tragedia della Concordia viene raccontata dalla viva voce di chi ha strappato a morte certa centinaia di persone ferite, intrappolate, smarrite e in molti casi abbandonate a loro stesse durante le manovre di evacuazione. Nessuno di quei vigili del fuoco altamente specializzati vuole oggi sentirsi chiamare eroe, perché chi fa quel mestiere è allenato nel corpo e nella mente ad affrontare situazioni drammatiche e lo vive come la normalità. Eppure leggendo le gesta di questi uomini, resi ciechi dal buio della notte e frustati dal mare mosso, è evidente che hanno compiuto qualcosa di eccezionale, di totalmente al di fuori della norma. Mentre l'enorme scafo della Concordia scivolava verso il fondo del mare con scricchiolii e spaventosi tonfi, in completo blackout e inclinata sul lato di dritta, i nove pompieri hanno dato anima, cuore e braccia per individuare e soccorrere tutti i sopravvissuti che non erano riusciti a mettersi in salvo dopo l'ordine di abbandonare la nave. Sempre in squadra, lavorando senza tregua, senza rifiatare un solo istante, ricorrendo anche alla fantasia di fronte agli ostacoli imprevedibili, trascinando di peso persone immobilizzate e terrorizzate, Albi, Andre, Bartolo, Beppe, Bronco, Lallo, Massi, Trap hanno soccorso, aiutato e liberato gli involontari prigionieri del disastro nautico, fermandosi solo quando il loro comandante ha decretato la fine dell'operazione. A distanza di dieci anni dall'evento gli otto co-protagonisti, insieme al loro comandante, svelano cosa è successo veramente dentro le viscere della Costa Concordia, una città galleggiante che trasportava oltre quattromila persone fra passeggeri e personale di bordo. Un racconto corale coinvolgente, emozionante, tremendamente vero, che fino a ora è rimasto silenziosamente custodito soltanto nei loro cuori, in un'apnea della memoria.Luca Cari è responsabile della comunicazione in emergenza del Corpo nazionale dei Vigili del fuoco. Per l'inchiesta "Noi pompieri nel barcone dell'orrore" ha vinto il Premio giornalistico "Giustizia e Verità" Franco Giustolisi 2016. Ha inoltre pubblicato Mai più Concordia (2014), Non sono Dio (2014) e Maledetto Appennino (2017). È subito intervenuto per la tragedia della Concordia e nel 2014 gli è stata conferita l'onorificenza di Cavaliere della Repubblica. In quei mesi, per i suoi tre figli, Pier Francesco, Andrea e Benedetta, fu a lungo un disperso che a volte tornava a casa.Virginia Piccolillo è giornalista del "Corriere della Sera", autrice di programmi televisivi e docufilm, sceneggiatrice (vincitrice del Festival del Cinema di Salerno). Il suo documentario "Fides - Il Coraggio della Dignità" ha aperto il Prix Italia. Commentatrice televisiva, insegna cronaca giudiziaria al master di giornalismo di Rcs Academy ed è componente della giuria del Premio giornalistico "Giustizia e Verità" Franco Giustolisi. Ha seguito come inviata numerosi eventi di cronaca, in Italia e all'estero, dall'omicidio Regeni al Cairo alle principali catastrofi come i terremoti e la Costa Concordia. Dall'Apnea la tirano fuori il marito e due figli di cui va fiera: Valentina e Angelo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Piers Plowright described himself as a 'radio man'. He'd grown up in a home where the wireless was moved into the living room of an evening for family listening. Others have called Piers, who died in July 2021, the Godfather of the British Radio Feature. His thirty-year BBC career began in 1968 as a trainee in English By Radio, after which he migrated via drama to documentaries. There, his programmes received radio's highest accolade, the Prix Italia, on three occasions. Yet he remained always modest, a practised listener, a supporter of colleagues, a composer of sound, silence and word, and - for all his erudition and love of culture - a mischievous spirit. All of this is felt in his many programmes (see below). In a medium described as having no memory, the quality and distinctiveness of Piers' radio programmes - and the grace of the man - are long remembered. You are invited to lend your ears to some of his work in this tribute from colleagues and admirers: Melvyn Bragg, his close friend from student days and distinguished broadcaster, Dr Cathy Fitzgerald, an award-winning feature-maker and presenter Seán Street, poet and Professor of Radio Marta Medvešek, the young Croatian recipient of the 2021 Prix Europa for radio documentary Matt Thompson, a younger colleague who fell under Piers' spell in the BBC documentaries department Julie Shapiro, formerly Artistic Director of the Third Coast Festival in Chicago, which awarded Piers the Audio Luminary Award in 2006 Martin Williams, a celebrated producer and amateur radio historian Redzi Bernard, producer and co-host of the Telling Stories podcast Tony Phillips, former production colleague and radio commissioning executive. Including interview excerpts with Piers from Roger Kneebone's Countercurrent podcast and Victor Hall's Pocketsize Studio and extracts from the following programmes in the BBC Sound Archive: Stepping Stones (R4, 2015) A Fine Blue Day (R4, 1978) Splashpast! (R4, 1993) Mirooo (R3, 1993) Mr B - a portrait of James Bellamy (R4, 1991) Setting Sail (R4, 1985) One Big Kitchen Table (R4, 1989) Mr Fletcher, the Poet (R4, 1986) Nobody Stays in This House Long (R4, 1983) What Are They Looking At?

Prix Italia RAI è un premio internazionale nato negli anni Settanta che ha visto nascere sul suo palcoscenico grandi registi internazionali. Quest'anno il Prix parte dalla città di Milano che diventa culla di quella rinascita culturale che tanto aspettiamo dopo un anno di emergenza sanitaria, ma anche economica, psicologica, sociale e, non da ultimo, culturale. Il Prix coinvolge quattro atenei milanesi tra cui la nostra Università Cattolica che si presenta al concorso con ben 24 video di studenti di corsi di laurea e master. Ne abbiamo parlato con Massimo Locatelli, direttore scientifico del Master in Ideazione audiovisiva, cinematografica e per i media digitali e alcuni studenti coinvolti nel progetto.

Radio sende Träume, sagt der australischen Radiokünstler. Ihn interessiert eine akustische Medienkunst jenseits der erzählerischen, vom gesprochenen Wort dominierten Radioformen der Anfangszeit des Hörspiels. Colin Black erhielt 2015 den New Yorker Radiopreis in Gold für Sound Art und 2003 den Prix Italia für Komposition.

In this special episode we interview Sebastian Baczkiewicz about his long-running series for Radio 4, Pilgrim, which draws on the myth and folklore of the British Isles and stars Paul Hilton as the immortal protagonist, William Palmer. The series was nominated for the Prix Italia and awarded silver at the Prix Europa.This fantasy tale follows William Palmer, a stone mason who, in the 12th Century was on a pilgrimage to Canterbury when he inadvertently offended the king of the Grey Folk (the fairies), who cursed him to life eternal. The series documents Palmer's adventures between the worlds of faerie and man and incorporates Sebastian's vast knowledge of folklore.

A quarant'anni da uno dei sismi più devastanti della storia sismologica italiana

Ein Hörspiel über Außenseiter und Versöhnung von George Tabori. Der Jude Arnold Weismann ist auf dem Weg nach New York, um in dem Park Ecke Riverside/ 99. Straße die Asche seiner an einem verspäteten Weisheitszahn verstorbenen Frau Bella auszustreuen. Im Gebirge, wo er sich verirrt, trifft er einen jungen Indianer. Zwischen den beiden Außenseitern entwickelt sich ein ritualhafter Kampf, den nur einer von ihnen überleben wird. George Tabori sagte über sein Stück: "It is, of course, a love-story" und "der Irrationalismus macht sich nicht davon, wenn wir ihn missbilligen: denn schließlich ist er ein Teil von jedem von uns." Das Stück wurde von Regisseur Jörg Jannings fürs Hörspiel inszeniert und wurde 1978 mit dem Prix Italia ausgezeichnet. Für diese und viele seine Radioarbeiten gilt: "Man spricht ja mit dem ganzen Körper. Man hört auch mit dem ganzen Körper - mit der Haut.“ Für den Hörspielregisseur Jannings ist eben dies das zentrale Moment dieser fragilen, in Klang gefassten Kunst: der Schauspieler und all seine Mittel. Nur wenige seiner Zunft waren in der Lage, einen Text durch exzessive und neugierige Arbeit mit seinen Produktionsteams so umzusetzen, dass jene akustischen Artefakte auch Jahrzehnte nach ihrer Entstehung noch so schimmern wie es nur echte Kunst vermag. Am 14. November wird Jörg Jannings, der Generationen von Hörspielschaffenden beeinflusst hat, 90 Jahre alt. Mit: George Tabori als Erzähler, Leopold Hainisch als Weismann und Heinz Hönig als Rotgesicht. Komposition: Birger Heymann und Michael Achilles. Übersetzung aus dem Amerikanischen: Peter Sandberg. Regie: Jörg Jannings. Produktion: NDR 1978. Verfügbar bis 09.11.2021. https://ndr.de/radiokunst

Il laboratorio di antropologia e odontologia forense dell'università di Milano, diretto da Cristina Cattaneo, è protagonista di Labanof: il primo podcast interamente prodotto da Radio3 e vincitore del Prix Italia 2020.

Tym razem kilka zaskoczeń – odwiedzamy bliskie miejsce, bo Kępę Zawadowską, a z naszą rozmówczynią Martyna Wojtkowska spotkała się w cztery oczy. Spoglądamy w przeszłość, żeby zastanowić się, jaka przyszłość czeka polskie media. „Patologia polega na tym, że żyjemy w bańkach” – stawia diagnozę Janina Jankowska, wieloletnia dziennikarka Polskiego Radia. Odkąd pamięta chciała pracować w mediach, ale do radia trafiła przez przypadek. Potem był Polski Sierpień i liczne nagrody, w tym prestiżowa Prix Italia. Uczestniczyła w przełomowych wydarzeniach kształtujących polską demokrację oraz ład informacyjny. Dziś bez pardonu wypunktowuje szkodliwe mechanizmy i grzechy każdej ze stron. Ale powtarza też: „Ja wierzę w radio”.

Qui se cache derrière un pseudo ? 1 heure et 22 minutes chaque jour. C'est le temps consacré aux réseaux sociaux, en moyenne, par internaute français. À s'inventer une vie, à l'embellir, à (se) la raconter ? La documentariste Elodie Font (« Coming in », « Mycose the night », « Il était une fois la PMA ») enquête avec rigueur et humour sur nos vies numériques et nos identités multiples.

Un tweet, et vous recevez une rafale de notifications, si bien que vous êtes obligé de les désactiver. Votre téléphone n'en supporte plus le poids. Vous êtes le héros du jeu vidéo, celui qui est sur la scène, et c'est comme une drogue dont vous voulez reprendre une dose, quotidiennement. Quel est l'impact de ces pseudos ? Ont-ils une influence sur les identités hors réseaux de ceux qui, dans l'ombre, les alimentent ? Avec la participation de :- William, professeur d'anglais, présent sur Twitter sous le pseudo de @M'sieur le prof depuis 2011 et suivi par plus de 476k abonnés.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the playwright and director Stephen Poliakoff. Stephen Poliakoff is probably best known for his explorations of the themes of memory, family and history in his dramas for television, including Shooting the Past, Perfect Strangers and The Lost Prince.He was born into an aristocratic, Russian Jewish family in 1952, the third of four children. Stephen's talent as a dramatist emerged from the embers of his ambition to be an actor. He discovered early that he could write, and his first play, Granny, was sufficiently well received to be made the school play - and to be reviewed by a major national paper. Later, during the 1970s, Stephen began to work in television with films like Stronger than the Sun for Play for Today and Caught on a Train - which won a BAFTA. His television film Close My Eyes won the Evening Standard Best Film Award in 1991; the series Shooting the Past won the Prix Italia in 1999 and in 2002 he won the Dennis Potter Award at the BAFTAs.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Quintet For Clarinet and String Quartet in A Major (Larghetto) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Book: My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell Luxury: A box of plastic straws to fiddle with

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the photo journalist Nick Danziger. Nick was born in London but grew up in Monaco and Switzerland. He developed a taste for adventure and travel from a young age, and, inspired by the comic-strip Belgian reporter Tintin, took off on his first trip to Paris aged 13. Without passport or air ticket, he managed to enter the country and travel around, selling sketches to make money.Nick's initial ambition was to be an artist, and he attended art school, got an MA and representation in a gallery. But his desire for travel remained - he applied and was awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship in 1982 and used it to follow ancient trade routes - he travelled on foot or traditional local transport from Turkey to China and documented his adventures in diaries. The diaries formed his first book, the best-selling Danziger's Travels, and he never looked back. He has since travelled around the world taking photographs and in 1991 made his first documentary in Afghanistan, War Lives and Videotape, based on children abandoned in the Marastoon mental asylum in Kabul. It was shown as part of the BBC's video diaries series and won the Prix Italia for best television documentary series. Nick has since travelled the world taking photographs and making documentaries about the people he has met. He has published four books, including his latest, The British, for which he returned to his roots.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: The Girl From Ipanema by Stan Getz Book: 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Luxury: Pencils, paper and watercolours
