FeST – The Festival of TV Series, the first Italian festival entirely dedicated to television series in the era of streaming platforms, has now reached its fourth edition, and is ready to make its triumphal return for 23 – 24 – 25 September 2022 in Milan, in collaboration with the Milan Triennale.
For this fourth edition was chosen as the main theme of the festival Reframing Nature. Marina Pierri, artistic director of the festival explains the thematic choice as follows:
Reframing Nature turns the spotlight on the meanings we attribute to word “nature” and its own
declinations in TV stories.Reframing means giving a new frame to a concept, because the frame is part of the painting and
it modifies the impact on the viewer. In psychological jargon, it implies the act of putting back into perspective,
rethink a certain aspect in multiple ways. And, often, transform it.This is the first step in building an awareness that is impossible to ignore.
Flora, fauna and the mineral world are not the cardboard backdrop on which the characters move, but characters themselves; just as humanity not only lives in nature, but is an integral part of it. Thinking of ourselves as other than the planet, its resources, its other human and non-human inhabitants, becomes unthinkable.Nature is a social construct: represents what is lawful or illegal to be in the company a
starting from one’s own body and the roles it predetermines.Nature is telling stories: the most natural gesture that exists for the human being, the one capable of
make sense of reality.Nature is the coexistence of differencesa term that gives a horizontal connotation to
enhancement of uniqueness, key to accessing the plurality of points of view that TV series are
able to offer.
