Outdoor cinema: Going to the other world

Remo Schellino ‘s art films- “Coming into the World,” “Being in the World,” and “Going to the Other World”-are profound and thoughtful cinematic works that explore the fundamental themes of human existence: birth, life and death.

These films, which offer a unique perspective and poetic introspections on each of the phases of our existence, will be presented in a series of three special evenings.

Each evening will be dedicated to one of the films and will take place in a different location in the beautiful setting of Cherasco, making the event not only an opportunity to immerse oneself in the art of cinema, but also to discover and appreciate the beauty and hospitality of this charming Piedmontese town.

The screenings will take place in July, providing a perfect opportunity to enjoy summer evenings of culture and reflection.

Declares Mara Degiorgis councilwoman in charge of culture:

With these three films we resume summer outdoor cinema, a pleasant date for summer evenings. The choice begins to realize my cultural intentions expressed in the election campaign. The trilogy dedicated to the birth, life and death of man seemed to me to be perfect to bring to three representative places in the Cherasque community, and I think that a reflection on these themes suggested by a municipal administration is a suitable proposal to unite a community

Going to the other world

On Monday, July 29, in Cherasco, in the courtyard of Palazzo Gotti, we end with Andare all’altro mondo (Going to the Other World): it is an anthropological, emotional and cultural journey where death is told in the circularity of life, as an exit from one world and entry into another.

Nothing is destroyed; everything is transformed.

Death is a new presence. Rites, stories, testimonies and conversations related to the final stage of our living. With what feelings and in what forms do we prepare to face the end of our existence? What practices, gestures, help us accompany our loved one to the passing?

Mourning, burial, funeral mourning, end-of-life request. A relationship of physicality with the body that is not extinguished, even though new trends, such as digital death, are powerfully beginning to enter our daily lives through social media.

A food for thought on the meaning of life closely linked to our inevitable demise.

An awareness that should help us to have a full life, to give meaning and measure to our living, to limit an unbridled rush for possessions that clouds true feelings and great values.
