The relationship between cinema and literature is complex and contradictory and has seen a succession of violent clashes and sudden reconciliations.
Most films are "taken" from literary texts: not only the sensational cases like "The Leopard" or "Gone with the Wind", but also films like "Wild Paths" or "The Fifth Element". To understand how these films are made, it becomes important to understand what we mean by "reduction", "adaptation", "cinematic transposition" or all the other terms with which we refer to that process that leads a written text to become a cinematographic text.
This and much more is discussed in Literary Meetings which love to explore this complex union.
The GialloLuna NeroNotte festival, organized by the Pa.Gi.Ne cultural association. of Ravenna, celebrates literary works attributable to the detective and noir genres.
