Biografilm is the first international event entirely devoted to biographies and life tales. The aim of Biografilm Festival is to find and to show life paths and experiences, big and small stories that influenced and determined the world history. Biografilm Festival individuated, and followed with a perfect timing, the peculiarity of the biopic genre and its audience, for some reason not explored before in Italy: the cultural quality of the biopic genre is intended as a highly positive value from a communication perspective, in a moment during which there’s a return to values the like of widening, commitment and a general increasing request of quality cultural products.
Biografilm Festival which takes place in Bologna between the 10th and the 20th of June will showcase, within a wide and articulated program, a selection of recent feature and short films, both fictional and documentaries, cinema and TV productions. The festival promotes, as well, tributes to directors who, with their work, have contributed to the development of the biographic genre, and schedules national and international premieres of brand new films, along with related special events, thematic programs and retrospectives. Each day of the festival is devoted to a specific personality, with a programme of screenings, meetings and special events.
In the past editions, Biografilm focused on personalities like John Lennon, Peter Sellers, the Warner Brothers, Groucho Marx, Klaus Kinski, Jean Seberg, Hunter S. Thompson, Walt Disney, John Belushi, Andy Warhol, Thomas Alva Edison, Fela Kuti, Syd Barrett and many others. Most of the events are taking place at Village in Manifattura delle Arti, a completely renewed complex which will host seminars, conferences and.. parties where they all lived happily ever after!
