thanks to Marvanza, "that with their colors, the fun and unique sound have brought on stage at the May 1st in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome also the pride and warmth of our land, with the certainty that this will be the first in a long series of successes ": This is the meaning of the plate delivered this morning by the Mayor of Maria Carmela Monasterace Lanzetta as public recognition to the reggae band. The event was held in the council chamber of Monasterace, in front of middle school students and Accounting, in the presence also of some members of the municipal administration and many onlookers. After the entrance to the applause of the four "heroes" of Piazza San Giovanni, was analyzed with a video of the artistic Marvanza, what, a stage dopo tappa, ha consegnato loro la vittoria del contest “Primo maggio tutto l'anno” e, di conseguenza, li ha portati ad esibirsi davanti al pubblico del concerto più importante d'Europa. Un video che mette in evidenza gli sforzi e il lavoro dei Marvanza, che spiegano i risultati ottenuti attribuendo il loro successo non al caso ma un duro lavoro lungo quattro anni. «E' importante capire che non è vero che i risultati si ottengono solo pagando o sfruttando amicizie importanti– ha commentato Ivan Lentini, voce e frontman del gruppo – l'unica cosa da fare è lavorare duro e i risultati prima o poi arriveranno. Se fosse dipeso dai soldi o dalle amicizie non sarebbe dovuto passare tutto questo tempo, avremmo able to play on May 1 last year or the year before. Instead we were there because we worked and in the end our efforts were rewarded. " One way to send a positive message to all the boys present, a useful advice for their future and take the right path in life. "We must go beyond the internet and everything that makes us quit ourselves - added Mafalda Race, voice and sax - the music is something that forms us and even if you do not do to become a musician is something that will help you build a bit 'yourself, people will be. It is a way to do something constructive and educational for you and this is the only advice che mi sento di darvi». Nulla dipende, dunque, dalla fortuna: dietro il primo maggio ci sono quattro anni di sacrifici e impegno, quattro anni in cui ogni attimo della loro giornata è stato dedicato solo ed esclusivamente alla musica, il lavoro più bello del mondo, spiegano, ma pur sempre un lavoro. «Sono stati anni molto intensi, di duro lavoro – ha commentato Claudio Chiera, basso – ma quando siamo arrivati su quel palco tutti gli sforzi si sono quasi annullati, sono spariti. Questo risultato è arrivato tutto d'un colpo ed è stato per noi la concretizzazione di tutto, un punto di partenza che ci invoglia a lavorare ancora per portare avanti questo progetto al meglio e che ci fa credere ancora di più in the power of music. " Their reggae outside the box and unfettered style is the means by which the concert after concert Marvanza screaming their appeal against the neglect of social status, along with an optimistic and happy life. A pacifist and revolutionary reggae at the same time, highlighting the importance of opening our eyes to the daily problems of our country. Their reggae, then, is an example for the children of Monasterace. The Marvanza dress so the shoes of those who want to drag their country out of the limbo in which he is bogged down, through the claims of industry and the typical love songs of their notes, coloring them with the warmth Calabria a new way of doing reggae. The awards ceremony was then concluded with the presentation of the plaque by the Mayor with a gift from the Marvanza, who donated an autographed photo to the municipality with some moments of their presence on the stage of May 1 and their knitting, as a reminder of their remarkable adventure.

From Palermo to municipalities Locride . The German, in his short film in 3D uiltimo talk about immigration and more people without places
A child and its mayor, in a country depopulated the coast of Calabria, where it is also difficult to organize a football match, the lack of other children. In the village comes a group of young African immigrants aboard a barge, creating havoc in the small local government and the obvious discussions s
ull'accoglienza. Will own the child and the mayor to give each other a turn
decisive and positive ...
's the story of the short film "The Flight", the German director Wim Wenders will shoot in Calabria in September, on a topic inspired by the experience of welcoming asylum seekers. For a decade the small towns of Badolato and those of Locri, as Statues, and Caulonia Stignano have chosen to integrate the refugees, repopulating entire countries che si erano svuotati a causa dell'emigrazione calabrese verso Nord o verso l'estero. In
un momento in cui la politica dell'accoglienza in Italia sembra ormai avere lasciato il posto a quella dei respingimenti, questa storia di solidarietà ha ispirato lo sceneggiatore Eugenio Melloni e ha entusiasmato Wim Wenders. Anche perché il regista di "Lisbon story" e "Paris,Texas" tornerà nell'amato Sud d'Italia dopo aver girato due anni fa "Palermo Shooting", in cui affrontava alcuni dei temi a lui più cari, come il viaggio e la scoperta delle diversità.
Un dato interessante per i cinefili è che Wenders ha scelto di usare la tecnica del 3D per "il Volo", il primo film-fiction a essere realizzato in stereoscopia,
finora adottata quasi esclusivamente per le pellicole di fantascienza e di horror.
A patrocinare e a cofinanziare la produzione è stata lastessa Regione Calabria che, non a caso, è la prima regione ad avere adottato una legge per promuovere l'accoglienza e l'inserimento dei rifugiati e dei richiedenti asilo. I migranti, per lo più africani, oggi sono impiegati nelle attività artigianali e nelle produzioni locali che stanno rivitalizzando l'economia di borghi altrimenti destinati alla decadenza. E anche di questo parla "il Volo". Il primo ciak, in early September, will be in a rock and will continue to turn around and Badolato. It has already begun the search for actors, strictly local, while the title role was entrusted all'italoamericano Ben Gazzara, whose parents were Sicilian immigrants, originating Canicattì. [Vittorio Longhi, Repubblica.it]
"Our region becomes the set of the upcoming film by Wim Wenders, who has chosen our region to shoot a film based on a true story. It is the director," Palma gold "at Cannes in '85 with" Paris Texas "Best Director at Cannes '87 with" Wings of Desire, "" Buena Vista Social Club. "The short sarà presentato, qui da noi, nei prossimi giorni. Il ruolo del protagonista è già stato affidato al grande Ben Gazzarra. Ma il resto del casting sarà calabrese". Così Agazio Loiero, presidente della Regione Calabria, ha annunciato l'impegno nella regione di Wim Wenders, che sembra essersi profondamente legato al "suditalia".
La storia che narrerà nel suo cortometraggio è quella dei profughi curdi approdati a Badolato nel 1997 a bordo della carretta del mare "Ararat". Si intitolerà "Il Volo" e sarà girato in alcuni dei luoghi più suggestivi della regione. "Il Volo – ha spiegato Loiero – è un cortometraggio con un soggetto tutto calabrese, ispirato, cioè, alle esperienze di accoglienza verso i rifugiati politici ed i richiedenti asilo, iniziati a Badolato alcuni anni fa e proseguiti in questi anni, con ancora più successo, nella Locride, tra Riace, Caulonia e Stignano. Una favola di semplicità che ci riporta al tema dell'ospitalità che è radicato nel popolo calabrese e che riporta la memoria ad uno degli immigrati più illustri: Pitagora il quale diceva: "se devi lasciare la tua Patria, salendo sulla nave, distogli lo sguardo dai confini che ti hanno visto nascere"".
La casa di produzione de "Il Volo" è la Technos srl, Video-one. Alla fotografia Blasco Giurato, al Roberto Perpignani assembly. The research will be almost all actors in the provinces of Calabria, Cosenza, Catanzaro and Reggio. "The Flight" is a fairy tale starring a child and its mayor (Ben Gazzara) facing a country increasingly depopulated, where the young protagonist can not even organize a game of football because there are no teammates. With a surprise ending as in any self-respecting fairy tale.
The film will cost € 183.7 million: Calabria Region not limited to sponsor the movie, but is co-producing with seventy thousand euro. "A decision - said the president of the Calabria Region - official with a special resolution of the junta. This is not a random choice. Calabria was the first Italian region to adopt a law to promote the acceptance and integration of refugees and asylum seekers in the area, combining it with the socio-economic development of local communities. A measure born from the positive experience of some municipalities of Locri - Statues, and Caulonia Stignano - where refugees have become a real resource. Arrived on several occasions since the late nineties, have long been engaged in handicrafts and local products and are thus contributing, in harmony with the local population, to revitalize the economy of towns marked by a past of mass migration and otherwise destined to a future of decay and depopulation. An integration model jumped to hit the national news last summer when the Locride received the desperate call that came from Lampedusa, to take charge of the new arrivals as the reception center of the island was always packed. "
''This film will run on characters from Calabria, for various reasons, gained considerable fame 'at the international level, of great interest to Calabria for the issues addressed is used for the location.'' Said the President of the Foundation 'Calabria Film Commission' Francesco Zinno who had, in Rome, a series of meetings with international producers interested in filming in Calabria. The first and 'Giorgio Basile - said Angel faces - originally from Corigliano Calabro - where will' the film entitled, precisely,''Angel Face''.

The film, which has already 'got the cultural recognition of the Ministry of Culture, will be' directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, one of the most 'important directors in Germany and Europe. The second character' Rocco Granata, a singer from Figline Vegliaturo, but naturalized Belgian, known for being the author of the famous song''Marina''as well as' television actor. The film, based on the life of the famous musician in the background of the events that have involved immigrants from Calabria in Belgium in the '50s, tells the story of a child chasing a dream: music, sara 'directed by Stijn Coninx, one of the greatest directors the world scene. Both productions''- the president said Zinni - for some major and minor roles have made the commitment that will be selected and Calabrian favorite artists.''
