N1 - Screening 1. Das erste Programm von REWINDItalia zeigt eine Auswahl italienischer Videoarbeiten aus den 1970er-Jahren, angefangen mit Fabio Mauris bahnbrechendem TV-Happening Il televisore che piange (1971), gefolgt von Werken von Michele Sambin, Claudio Ambrosini, Guido Sartorelli und Anna Valeria Borsari, die alle von aus der Galleria del Cavallino in Venedig entstanden. Die von Paolo und Gabriella Cardazzo geleitete Galerie war ein bedeutendes und hoch angesehenes Zentrum der italienischen Videokunst. Einige dieser Werke (z.B. jene von Sanja Ivekovič und Živa Kraus) entstanden im Zusammenhang mit Video- und Performance-Treffen, die Third and Fourth Encounters, die 1974 und 1976 von der Stadt Motovun im heutigen Kroatien organisiert worden waren. Im Programm ist auch die wegweisende Videoperformance von Luca Maria Patella, einem römischen Medienkünstler, der in dieser Zeit autonom mit Video experimentierte. 2011 entdeckte REWINDItalia einige dieser verloren geglaubten Tapes. Screening 2: Der zweite Block von REWINDItalia beginnt mit vier von der Galleria del Cavallino in den späten 1970er-Jahren produzierten Videos von Piccolo Sillani und Luigi Viola. Die folgenden Werke von Federica Marangoni und Fabrizio Plessi wurden alle vom Centro Videoarte des Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara produziert. Das von Lola Bonora geleitete Centro Videoarte, war eines der renommiertesten, langlebigsten und überhaupt das einzige öffentliche Zentrum für Video im Italien der 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre. Weiter im Programm sind die einzigen Videoarbeiten des bekannten Filmemachers Paolo Gioli aus den Achtzigern und die wegweisenden Kollaborationen zwischen Kunst und Mainstream-TV durch den Maler, Videokünstler und Fernsehregisseur Mario Sasso. Das Programm endet mit einem Ausblick auf die frühen 1990er-Jahre und die Entstehung von Digitalem Video. (Stephen Partridge & Laura Leuzzi)
