Abstract

Back on the “XII MAGIS - Gorizia International Film Studies Spring School” which contributed for a week to develop a series of reflections in the contemporary world: body images that echoes by the same lack of their presence, where the film’s material body is shared between real and virtual. There was also a questioning on the censorship problem and finally, the displacement from images represented at the whim of mappings. A conference with some stimulating reflections that were stimulated by the pluralistic approach of the “FilmForum”.
