On April 21, AANT Academy hosted a new appointment of Meet the Expert, the format dedicated to direct dialogue between students and professionals from the creative industries. The guest speaker was Luigi Maria Perotti, director, screenwriter and documentary filmmaker, in conversation with Professor Valerio Di Paola, coordinator of the Bachelor’s Degree in Videomaking, Story, Cinema and Media Design.
The event, held within the framework of the partnership with the Libero Bizzarri Foundation, focused on an in-depth exploration of some of Perotti’s most significant works, including “L’infame e suo fratello”, “Florence Fight Club”and “La via di mio padre”. These works reflect a consistent interest in social and historical dynamics. At the same time, the evolving nature of his practice clearly emerged, now increasingly oriented towards the potential of generative artificial intelligence. Recent projects such as “Tales from Neurocene” and “The Final Chapter”, also developed in dialogue with the academic world, demonstrate a research approach that integrates audiovisual languages and technological innovation, opening new perspectives for content creation and consumption.
The event provided a stimulating opportunity for direct exchange, effectively connecting education, the creative industries and research, and offering students of the Academy’s Bachelor’s Degree programs concrete tools to interpret the ongoing transformations in the audiovisual landscape.
