Mangiamoci sopra
Research project of I.P.P.S.S.A.R. A.Beltrame By Carlo Migotto The research project “Mangiamoci sopra “ conceived by Carlo Migotto and Mattia Coletti (Ukrain.Mom production) and realized with 50 students of Istituto Alberghiero ‘A. Beltrame’ in Vittorio Veneto, concerns the concepts of Food / Cook / Eat in relationship to their cinema representation. From these points the students have been left free to choose themes and directions of search departing from their own cinema experiences, with the purpose to realize some videos obtained by the selection of film segments decontestualized from the original location to be replaced in another and functional context. They select, approaching freely (not therefore a simple collage) scenes or shots taken from the most disparate films; with commune denominator the thematic area of food/cook/eat.
