The first evening centers around the short film CORPO DI REATO (Body of Evidence, 2024) by the Italian feminist collective "Collettiva," (Marta Basso, Sara Cecconi, Carlotta Cosmai, and Alice Malingri). This work in progress is shedding light on the censorship of the film about sex work, A.A.A. Offresi (1981), by feminist filmmakers Loredana Rotondo, Paola De Martis, Annabella Miscuglio, Rony Daopulo, Mariagrazia Belmonti, and Anna Carini, which was banned by Italian television. On March 12, 1981, presenter Marina Morgan announced that A.A.A. Offresi would not be aired "at the formal request of the president of the parliamentary oversight commission". CORPO DI REATO reenacts the story and seeks a fictional revenge: the announcement is interrupted by a group of activists in colorful balaclavas storming the studio to read the screenplay of the censored film. The screening will be followed by a conversation about the films A.A.A. Offresi as well as Un processo per Stupro (A Trial for Rape, 1979)
