Events in Bibliomediateca
Monday – 24 May 2010, at 3.30 p.m.
A screening of Richard Fleischer's film Fantastic Voyage as part of the COLPI DI GENIO festival (MOMENTS OF GENIUS: Scientists and conferences at the cinema).
The Bibliomediateca hosts its latest event on Monday the 24th of May 2010 with its film festival COLPI DI GENIO. Scienziati e incontri al cinema (MOMENTS OF GENIUS: Scientists and conferences at the cinema). The programme features a screening of Richard Fleischer's film Fantastic Voyage. The director tackles the difficult challenge of showing the inside of the human body, magnified to an exponential degree: in this way, a biological adventure becomes an intergalactic voyage where cells look like meteorites and the human body resembles infinite space. The science fiction of the 1960s, and this film in particular, metaphorically took up the issue of the Cold War, an issue that was difficult to ignore at the time and offers a new take on the intense race between the United States and the Soviet Union, between Capitalism and Communism. Introduced by Attilio Palmieri.
