Dateline: May 12, 2009 ... Cannes, France

CANNES, FRANCE - May 12, 2009 - The 2009 Cannes International Film
Festival will include a benefit to honor the earthquake victims in
Abruzzo, Italy consisting of a powerful film presentation with musical
performance and cocktail reception. It will take place on May 20,
2009 at 3pm.
Members of the film industry, artists and citizens of the world will
gather at the benefit for the world premiere of the film and musical
concert "CANTO 6409", a 22' film that was created and directed by Dino
Viani, an independent filmmaker who participated in festivals around
the year, including the Biennale of Venice last year. The film will
be accompanied by a live performance by contemporary music composer
Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta, who collaborated with John Cage between
1986 and 1992 and remains as composer for Merce Cunningham in New York
City.
The music was elaborated inside Virtual Reality. The director, Dino
Viani, living in the region of the earthquake, was the only film maker
to chronicle the rare images of the immediate aftermath of the seismic
disaster into an emotionally moving poetic montage. Viani and Pimenta
have collaborated before creating both film and music according to the
principles of independent artwork as established by the French
dramaturge Antonin Artaud in the beginning of the twenty-century and
followed by John Cage, Merce Cunningham and Robert Raushenberg among
others.
The event is supported by the Holotopia Art and Science Academy in the
Amalfi Coast (Italy), by ASA Art and Technology in London (England),
and the Walden Zero Project in New York (U.S.) and is organized by
MediaFusion in Washington DC (U.S.). All donations will be directly
made to the Red Cross of Italy. The Red Cross of Italy has worked at
the forefront of the disaster to help the victims of the earthquake
dealing with their daily necessities.
