The Project
The theme of the artistic project is the relationship between Cinema and Sicily. Artists will investigate and reinterpret, using street art and digital art, the perspective of Sicilian directors or directors who have produced important works in Sicily or have Sicilian origins, as well as films shot or set in Sicily that have marked the history of cinema on the island.
Regarding street art, 32 murals will be created in the 8 municipalities involved in the project. Each mural can depict portraits of directors or be inspired by scenes from important films shot in Sicily, with the aim of creating an innovative and original distributed museum of cinema in Sicily.
