- Irene is a director, screenwriter, and artist. She is dedicated to subjects related to the evolution of the individual’s identity in relation to social and economic changes. She was the director of the Lovers Film Festival for three years, the historic LGBTQI festival in Turin. Her latest feature-film “Le ultime cose” won a Nastro d’Argento and was running for the Globi D’Oro and the David di Donatello. She is working on her next fiction film, “La voce di Arturo” selected at the Berlinale Talents 2019. Her talk walks us through the imagery of cinema born between social spaces in transition, where there are roots of achievable utopias. A reflection on the importance of the film movement, an alternative and transversal way to face topics like integration and gender issues. A digression in rare examples of the seventh art that anticipated historic social changes. To live today’s cinematography will help us anticipate the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
