As if its originality and value were not reason enough to admire the Independent Film Show, there is also something else: the opportunity to experience the unexpected. A chance of enchantment, in a particular space, render it exemplary, ideal. Not passively seated before a picture, but getting into the heart of a work, passing through it with the sensation of falling inside a vision - we perceive the transit, we hear the whispers, we interrupt the silences, we undergo the perceptive shock of it all.
The amount of attention paid to the moving images has actually increased over the past ten years, if that seems possible. This may be due to increased artistic production and the appearance of newly-created archives and databases. These latter are often ambiguous affairs, adding little to a clear understanding of the work or its historical and artistic context. What makes the Independent Film Show unique in its field, however, is the detailed look it takes at one particular aspect of cinema - that of the independent and experimental.The Independent Film Show 9th, organized by E-M Arts and co-ordinate by Raffaella Morra and Katia Rossini, will take place from the 3rd to the 7th of November 2009 at the Fondazione Morra.The Independent Film Show is also a chance for an informal discussion between curators, film-makers and spectators. The website www.em-arts.org will be newly updated and a colour catalogue in English and Italian will be published with texts by Loredana Troise, the curators and details of all 42 films in the program.

INDEPENDENT FILM SHOW 5th Edition16 - 17 - 18 - 19 november 2005 Palazzo delle Arti - PAN (via dei Mille, 60 - 80122 Napoli)The Independent Film Show is devoted to the exhibition of experimental film. In a way, it is not surprising that this film festival is organized by an art gallery, as experimental film has certainly as much to do, or far more to do, with the plastic arts than it does with cinema, as conceived in its most classic and commonly accepted sense. It is film considered as an art ...
