Cinema Permanente is a long-term project consisting in the continuous screening of artists' films. Within a cinema room set up ad hoc in the Capriccio of Villa Sucota, the film works in the program alternate documentary analyses and fictional speculations, in a confrontation between artistic and environmental practices.

Between experiences of grassroot ecological activism, ecocentric narratives, animal perspectives and the re-actualisation of traditional practices, traversing archive documents, the materiality of film and formal experimentation of various kinds, Cinema Permanente intends to create a mosaic of intersecting gazes that stimulate an active response to the impending catastrophe.

The poetic suggestions and analyses suggested by the films in the exhibition aim to develop new plural ways of renegotiating the relationship between ecosystems, non-human forms of life and our inhabiting the world, the organisation of work and the urgencies of decoloniality, offering alternatives to the extractive attitude and capitalisation that characterise the usual relationship between man and the natural sphere.

The films will be shown for the duration of one month each, with screenings presented by the artists and from time to time by other voices and experiences in the form of a dialogue.

The aim of the project is also to offer viewers a differentiated usership, whereby the film will be accessible both in a cinematic dimension and in the light of an exhibition dynamic according to which images, environments and audiences can establish a triangulation of mutual influence.
