<\/p>\n
The American writer Joe R. Lansdale is the protagonist of a Masterclass managed by the writer Tullio Avoledo at 5.00 pm captivating the kermis public. He wrote more than twenty novels and hundreds of short stories, he is maybe the brightest contemporary writer of this genre. His most famous works are The Drive-In: A \u201cB\u201d Movie with Blood and Popcorn, Made in Texas, The Drive-In 2: Not Just One of Them Sequels (published for the first time by Urania in 1993), Two-Bear Mambo, Bad Chili, Rumble Tumble, Savage Season, Mucho Mojo, Sunset and Sawdust, All the Earth, Thrown to the Sky, Edge of Dark Water and Hap and Leonard. In December Einaudi published Lansdale\u2019s novel Honkytonk Samurai, a new investigative adventure for Hap Collins and L\u00e9onard Pine<\/p>\n
One of the most awaited films is a world preview. It is Andron \u2013 The Black Labyrinth, of Francesco Cinquemani, whose protagonists are Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover, Margareth Mad\u00e8 and the superstar Skin, an icon who has become even more pop since she is a member of the X-Factor board. A group of strangers is imprisoned in a mysterious and lethal labyrinth. They don\u2019t remember how they got there or what their names are. They must find the answers they need, decode the signals and travel to find out what is Andron\u2019s secret. The film is an Ambi Pictures production. The filmmaker Francesco Cinquemani and Margareth Mad\u00e8 (Mannina in Baar\u00eca for Giuseppe Tornatore and Sophia Loren in the TV biopic La mia casa \u00e8 piena di specchi, a TV mini-series transmitted on Rai Uno, directed by Vittorio Sindoni) arrive in Trieste to present the awaited preview.<\/p>\n
On the agenda there are Strings \u2013 Senza tempo and Ananke, both totally Italian. Strings \u2013 Senza tempo is a film of Alessio Vasarin and Sandro Tarter. It is about a physics student in possession of a weird object allowing a dimensional transfer to another Earth. Ananke, of Claudio Romano (a kermis guest), is a reflection on the humankind fate. Humankind, in fact, is endangered and the only way to escape death is fleeing and isolating. This Italian film was already appreciated by the critics at the Pesaro Film Festival. Also the shorts of the section Spazio Corto – directed by the new colossus of the Italian sci-fi cinema, such as Fabio Bressan, from Trieste, the author of Le streghe – are Italian.<\/p>\n
For the new generation audience and the space kids, the section Sci-Fi Kids goes on, with the workshop C\u2019\u00e8 nessuno???, aiming at sensitizing the children on diversity, experiencing the encounter and the inclusion as a richness, and the projection of Mercano, El Marciano , of Juan Antin.<\/p>\n
And, then, the awaited film What We Do in the Shadows, a smart vampire mockumentary of Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, from New Zeland, which already received some recognition at the Sundance Film Festival and at the Torino Film Fest.
\nThe closing film for this rich edition is The Zero Theorem, directed by Terry Gilliam (Urania Award in Trieste in 2006), whose protagonist is Christoph Walts, an eccentric and lonely computer master suffering from existential anguish, who works on a mysterious project. It will be played on the screens in Italy in 2016, distributed by Minerva Pictures.<\/p>\n
To really close the kermis, Profondo rosso, of Dario Argento, is played, exactly forty years after its production. A masterpiece which has marked the collective horror unconscious. It is played in a bright digital version restored by CSC-Cineteca Nazionale with outtakes.<\/p>\n
