Landscape Videomaking Lab at the Euganea Film Festival – 25 June 2023
Landscape Videomaking Lab at the Euganea Film Festival – 25 June 2023
The equipment of our MobiLab is employed within several Department digital and creative initiatives. One of the most prominent among them is the Landscape Videomaking Lab, which involves the students of our MA in Landscape Studies under the supervision of Mauro Varotto, Marco Toffanin and Michele Trentini. Videomaking is here intended to share alternative visions on landscape with wider extra-academic audiences.
To enhance this public side of the Lab, our MA in Landscape Studies has developed a collaboration with Euganea Film Festival. This year, the short documentary videos created by our students were presented at the Camera con Paesaggio (Room with landscape) section of the event held on June, 25 2023 at the Este Gardens.
In addition to attending lab activities at Department spaces ad well as immersed in the scenery of Villa Bolasco (a venue of the University of Padua), thanks to this productive collaboration our students had the opportunity to experience a creative residence in the Euganean Hills hosted by the Film Festival, and to take part in the public event at the Este Castle.
Here you can watch all the Landscape Videos shot by our students from the current and previous editions of the Landscape Videomaking Lab:
Mobilities Videolab Awards Ceremony - Geonight 2023
The 2023 Space, Place and Mobility Student Video Contest, April 14, h. 16,30, c/o Multisala PioX, Padova
Since 2020/2021, the students of the human geographic course unit “Space, Place and Mobility” taught at the University of Padua by Prof. Chiara Rabbiosi, have been experimenting with film-making. Every year a final screening session is held during which the short films made by students from the Master’s degrees in Local development and Mobility Studies are awarded by a scientific jury and the audience jury, that is composed of the event attendees.
This year, on April 14, by watching 20 of such wonderful student short films, we also celebrated a great GeoNight in collaboration with the Mobility Expo project. The videos touched upon migration, tourist mobilities, transport infrastructures, commodities circulation and many more mobilities related topics.
The scientific jury included Prof. Anna Giraldo (Local Development, Univ. of Padua), Prof. Andrea Caracausi (Mobility Studies, Univ. of Padua), and Prof. Vickie Zhang, from the University of Singapore.
The winner of the Space, Place & Mobility video contest awarded by the scientific jury is:
- Tangerine by Elios Favaretto and Melisa Onaral – WINNER, for their incredibly poetic film and powerful message of identity and immobility
The three runners up are:
- Resignationby May Layugan, for its cinematic and creative representation of the stresses and refusals of commuting
- Them by Maria D’Incà,for its humanising reframing of a highly politicised story through the voices of irregular migrants themselves
