FEFF 19
The girl and the rooster: the double symbol of the 2017 edition!
The Chinese zodiac? A mythical creature? A homage to Ren Hang?
Here is the brand new creation by Roberto Rosolin
for the 19th Far East Film Festival!
When most people think of oriental traditions, the Chinese zodiac immediately comes to mind. An almost alien resemblance that will grab the attention of science-fiction buffs. Photography aficionados will most definitely see it as a tribute to Ren Hang. It’s hard to pinpoint an exact interpretation, if indeed there is one, but what is important is the visual power: the topic at hand is the image that Roberto Rosolin has created for the 19th Far East Film Festival. After the pop icon of 2015 (remember Bruce Lee’s yellow jumpsuit?) and the enigmatic female profile of 2016, here is the brand new creation of the graphic designer from Gorizia: a close-up of a beautiful young Asian woman, with a colourful, menacing and unexpected rooster partially overlapping her face.
The countdown to the 19th edition of the Far East Film Festival has begun, Udine will be under the spotlights from 21st to 29th April. The lineup features more than 60 of the best 2016/2017 Asian productions and includes blockbusters, cult and fringe movies and also auteur films from all over Asia.
The #FEFF19 schedule – just a reminder, 13th March is the deadline to purchase discounted accreditations (all related info on www.fareastfilm.com) – will, as always, be embellished by all kinds of collateral cultural events around Udine’s city centre. Last but certainly not least, the Festival will present the third edition of the FEFF Campus, the educational project dedicated to young Asian and European journalists, Ties That Bind, the international workshop that brings western and eastern producers together and Focus Asia, the new market dedicated to future European and Asian genre film projects.
Roberto Rosolin was born in Gorizia in 1980. After his studies, he started his career as a graphic designer in Friuli Venezia Giulia before moving to London, where he now lives and works. He is currently Art Director of Fabric, historic music venue in London, and of the record label of the same name, which received much international attention.
His work with photographer Mads Perch has recently been used for the cover of Creative Review.
