2016 Programme
Event #33
Silvio Soldini, Alberto Casiraghy, Josef Weiss
The river is never wrong
Alberto Casiraghy and Josef Weiss are true book artists. One in Osnago, the other in Mendrisio, they have devoted years to high quality typographical and editorial activity, still printing with a printing press, preserving the memory of a perfect industry made of manual skill and technique but also of inventiveness and poetry. Through their work – inspired by care, quality and beauty – they seem to live in a world apart, far from the frenzy of modern society. Silvio Soldini depicts this persisting and resisting microcosmos in a poetic, lighthearted film that becomes a declaration of love for thought and art. The film screening (72 minutes) will be followed by a talk with the director and two protagonists.
