Due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the programme of the 15th Summer School in Cinema Human Rights and Advocacy has been rewieved, taking into account any eventual measures adopted by the 77th Venice International Film Festival.
The title of this conference refers to enclosed places, deception and privacy, focusing on three spatial areas – the body, clothing and furniture. For Baudelaire the weight of memoriesis like a desk full of hidden drawers; for Carroll the white rabbit’s pocket drives Alice down into Wonderland. Houses contain rooms, which contain furniture with secret contents; bodies enclose pouches, wombs, systems, membranes. All enclosures imply possible exposure but also protect themselves against revelation – why and how? Do boys’ pockets differ from girls’?
