Landmarking Audiovisual Workshop with Santabelva
In the program of the three days of Utopian Hours, there will be also a workshop on urban video-reporting conducted by the Santabelva collective, which will take place on Saturday, October 19th, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM at Dorado (Lungo Dora Firenze, 37).
The directors and filmmakers of Santabelva—a collective that won the award for Best Film in the Italian Documentaries section at the Torino Film Festival 2024 with Corpo dei giorni— will guide participants on a creative journey to capture personal and objective landmarks of the city through photography, video, and sound.
The workshop is designed for creatives, urban explorers, and anyone interested in documenting their environment from a new perspective. All you need is a camera or a phone.

WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
Introduction & Concepts: the workshop kicks off with an introduction to the workshop leaders and key concepts like hyperlocalism, psychogeography, and situationism.
Audiovisual Examples: we’ll showcase inspiring examples of trailers, short films, and video art projects centered around landmarking and the psychogeographic experience of cities.
Landmarking Exercise: in this practical phase, you’ll be invited to explore the surrounding area through an emotional route. As you wander, you will be tasked with capturing photos, videos, or sound recordings of landmarks that resonate specific feelings within you—whether personal or objective.
Presentation & Discussion: your audiovisual collections will be edited into short timelines and shown to the group through an interactive discussion.
A specific ticket must be purchased in order to participate. The workshop is part of Urban Frame, the project winner of the public call for proposals ‘Torino, che cultura!’, funded by the PN METRO PLUS and CITTÀ MEDIE SUD 2021-2027 funds – TO7.5.1.1.B – SUPPORT FOR THE URBAN ECONOMY IN THE CULTURE SECTOR.
