The August events in Manifattura Tabacchi

From the Occitan rhythms of the San Salvador polyphonic choir to the black sound of Dre Love
up to DJ sets with music from all over the world. Two film festivals dedicated to summer with more than twenty films, from Fellini to Tarantino, passing by Indiana Jones

From auteur cinema to world music, from rooftop concerts to jazz, soul and electronic DJ sets, including two film festivals dedicated to summer films: it is the August of Manifattura Tabacchi , which offers a program of events in the new cultural center Florentine, between international vocation and contemporaneity (via delle Cascine, 33).

It starts on the roof of the Manufacture, Thursday 1 August, where from 7 pm the polyphonies of San Salvador will resound, a collective of six voices and percussion between ancient Occitan languages and folkloristic suggestions. The exhibition closes the review Florence from above , a strategic project of the Municipality of Florence within the Summer of Florence 2019. Also at 7 pm, in the Cortile della Ciminiera, space for Buzz Sound, the usual appointment on Thursday with the sounds of jazz and soul, by On L'è On. In console, DANEE , Florentine producer who blends ethnic sounds and electronic experiments.

Sounds and rhythms from distant countries with Disco Safari, an event dedicated to world music , scheduled for Wednesday 7 August with Dre Love , New York DJ and performer who boasts collaborations with big names such as Alex Britti, Neffa and Almamegretta (7 pm) while Thursday 8 August will be Mystic Vibre of the Florentine collective Autentica to select the best of jazz and soul for Buzz Sound.

Not just music, but also a lot of cinema, with two thematic reviews by In fuga dalla bocciofila . More than twenty screenings at the beginning and end of the month for two sections, Smart Departures (from 29 July to 9 August), with films that each describe the concept of travel, new beginning, and Contra-Exodus (from 19 to 30 August) , works with a metropolitan flavor that explore the idea of return. A free proposal, designed to involve a wide and diversified public by adopting the key words of the Manifattura project: inclusion, return to citizenship and belonging.

A cinematic journey through twenty-four masterpieces that will enliven the Ciminiera courtyard throughout the month. From box office champions such as " Indiana Jones and the last crusade " by Steven Spielberg (August 2) to authentic cult films such as " It's not a country for old people " by Joel and Ethan Coen (August 8); from the Italian comedy with " Ricomincio da tre " by Massimo Troisi (August 22nd) to vintage cinema with " Chinatown " by Roman Polański (August 23rd), up to the delirious slasher " Grindhouse - Death proof " by Quentin Tarantino (24 August). And again, the great classics with films restored by the Cineteca di Bologna, such as " Hiroshima mon amour" by Alain Resnais (4 August), " Amarcord " by Federico Fellini (19 August), " Io e Annie " by Woody Allen (27 August).

All screenings start at 9.30pm.
