Curated by Rael Montecucco
There’s no Concorto without midnight screenings. And there is no midnight screenings without the DEEP NIGHT spot. The date with the most extreme and particular cinema will recur again this year and during three nights (in the beautiful setting of Parco Raggio’s greenhouse) will try to give goose bumps to Concorto’s audience. Deep Night is a journey between horror and thriller, nightmare and surreal, with a glimpse to grotesque and black comedy. Twelve short films from every part of the world which vary between classical cinema (e.g. the dreamlike Deja Vu and the catchy Oppassen), liminal cinema (the surreal and stunning Botanica) and even touch on the scope of the most fierce satira (Conte Cruel) and actual political cinema (PYOTR495). In short, it’ll be fun once again!
