Libertà autoriale vs Verità biografica

An official event of the Rome Film Fest to bring to the attention of the audience a debate about the Biopic genre in Italy. It’s an encounter entitled “Authorial Freedom vs Biographical Truth” to compare two aspects: the creative license of the writer of a biopic and the fidelity of the same to the original story. The event, organized by Slinkset s.r.l, will take place at Parco della Musica Auditorium in the Studio Borgna Theater Hall.

At 5.00 pm the Biopic workshop will begin, the most successful works and projects in development will be examined through the stories of directors, actors and foremen who will share their artistic, creative and realization experience accompanied through a selection of questions from the public and from social networks.

After an overview of the Biopic genre, the debate will open with the screening of The Ghost Particle, a cinematic work centered on the figure of the deceased physicist Ettore Majorana. At Teatro Studio Borgna there will be 288 seats available to follow the live event. Among the public, there will be important producers, distributors and players from the World of Visual, Sound and Literary Arts.

Other guests of interest will be women and men of science of the Enrico Fermi Research Center, a scientific institution located in the historic headquarters of Via Panisperna, where Ettore Majorana showed, albeit briefly, his admirable genius as well as members of the family of the deceased physicist. Representatives of institutions belonging not only to the cinema and audiovisual sector will also be part of the audience. 

Among the speakers at the event: Ornella Sgroi, Angelo Barbagallo, Daniele Occhipinti, Cristiana Dell’Anna, Andrea Leanza, Giuseppe Vasapolli.
