Analogica was born as a spontaneous event in Rome in 2008, through a series of super8 and 16mm film screenings. These first screenings were organized in response to the gradual disappearance of film production, which had been in a significant economic and commercial crisis for years. The first events of Analogica were dedicated to ''the analog resistance'', the idea of ​​keeping technology and its knowledge alive, that in the early 2000s risked disappearing silently. At the Analogica events, networks of collaborations were created between artists and filmmakers. Within a few years, the idea of ​​organizing a more structured and open event takes shape. Thus was born the first edition of Analogica, which immediately proposes an international call for films exclusively made in celluloid. Research and experimental cinema is the one that immediately represented the identity of Analogica at its best. A cinema that explores the chemical processes and the many possibilities recycles old footage offers, creating a new and exciting art scene. Today ANALOGICA is a annual festival and a platform for the investigation and dissemination of analog practices in visual and sonic experiments based in Bolzano, South Tyrol.
