“The cinema in the hall as a sharing event – declares Antonella Di Nocera – has always been the characteristic of this review and other moments dedicated to the seventh art curated by Parallelo 41, but starting again after the 2020 online edition has an extraordinary flavor . When we returned to Cinema Astra, after almost two years, the posters of the 2019 edition were still intact. It was like opening a casket that emanated magic. You could hear the widespread voices of the audience in the hall, the footsteps of the spectators in the hall, the music of the credits that remain in the heart at the exit of the hall. We want to return to all this and ensure that there is a place dedicated to the culture of cinema in Naples. This review in its extended sense is the hope for a culture that spreads and settles with a force from the center to the peripheries and vice versa ”.
