10.The Redemption of Eve: The Decameron as New Genesis

Brittany Asaro December 1, 2024 Issue: g/s/i 10 I-II (2023-2024) Category: Open Contributions

Boccaccio challenges traditional interpretations of the biblical account of humanity’s creation and fall,

11.A Case in Transformation: Gender Bender Festival, from Cinema to Dance

Dianora Hollmann December 1, 2024 Issue: g/s/i 10 I-II (2023-2024) Category: Open Contributions

by Dianora Hollmann

This article examines the interdisciplinary festival Gender Bender, based in Bologna, Italy. Since its first edition in 2003, the festival has centered cinema as its core discipline, and from 2014, it introduced a new key section dedicated to contemporary dance. This case study investigates the shift in the festival’s programming, which is now more focused on dance than cinema, and explores the potential for dual positioning within both the film festival circuit and contemporary dance networks.

12.“Per me il documentario è relazione”: The Eloquence of Found Footage and Garment Workers’ Rights in Costanza Quatriglio’s Triangle

Valeria Castelli February 21, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 7 (2020) Category: Open Contributions

by Valeria Castelli

This article examines Costanza Quatriglio’s use of found footage in Triangle (2014). This documentary film deals with the collapse of a building in Barletta in Apulia in 2011, in which four female textile workers and the factory owner’s daughter were killed. These deaths in the workplace are correlated with the notorious case of the victims of the fire at the Triangle Waist Company factory in New York in 1911. Quatriglio creatively uses found footage to persuade viewers of the similarities between the two accidents at work,
