In partnership with the Italian Cultural Institute, the Beirut Art Film Festival presents an evening on
The Caravaggio
Programme:
6 pm – Online screening of the capsule The Caravaggio, 2020, 23′, produced by JAP . This film is a presentation of Caravaggio’s work, life and battles by Vincent Cartuyvels, art historian.
6:30 pm – Online screening of the scenic capture of Io, Caravaggio, 2017, 70′, Cesare Capitani. This movie is a portrait of Michelangelo Merisi, called “Caravaggio”, whose work has forever changed painting, with its brutal realism and disturbing eroticism. It is also a series of throbbing confessions by the cursed artist, punctuated, as in a lucid dream , by “a cappella” songs (Monteverdi, Caccini et Grancini) interpreted by Laetitia Favart. On stage, Cesare Capitani succeeds in the feat of embodying the artist, devoured by his passions, violent, rebellious, possessed by the thrill of sacrifice and death, while interpreting at the same time some of his masterpieces. From the novel by Dominique Fernandez (Grasset). Coproduction of the capture: Les Films d’un Jour.
8 pm – Zoom discussion on the Sublimation of violence in Caravaggio’s work with Vincent Cartuyvels and Cesare Capitani. Moderator Joumana Rizk-Yarak.
