Following the success of the past editions, AIDI (the Italian Cultural Association of Lighting) organizes and promotes the fifth edition of the International video competition “Riprenditi la città, Riprendi la luce”.
An initiative that aims to disseminate the “culture of light” among the young, to stimulate their awareness of the importance that this element plays in their daily lives, and to learn and understand how they interact, precisely through the light, with the city they live, work, or study in.
The light, the young participants and the cities still are the protagonists of this IV edition. The video will be the instrument through which they will narrate the light: a 60-second film, which can be filmed with portable or mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, video camera, camera, etc. The cities become the stage of their video shooting and tales, their lit backgrounds, the colourful scenographies through which the young participants will tell their stories, their squares, and their gathering, leisure, meeting, and work places.
A fresh look that, through many 60 second gazes, will not only convey the value of the light in our daily lives, but that will give us the idea of their dreams and hopes, of the image of our cities and, above all, of what their eyes see and communicate.
