Rome: Tekfestival from the 7th to the 11th of May 2009

From the 7th to the 11th of May Rome hosts Tekfestival, an independent and social documentary festival, which celebrates its 8th edition this year.

The Tekfestival, which will be held in the three rooms of the new Aquila Cinema in Rome, will then take place also in Frascati (on the 12th and 13th of May), in the Cultural Centre “Zip”, invading the two cities with a number of interesting films, accompanied by special events, exhibitions, discussions and meetings with directors, which attract about 4000 cinema lovers in the campsites of Rome and surroundings every year. Although it is a fairly young happening, indeed, Tekfestival has already achieved a great success, and it is already considered as very important in the field of Italian and international film promotion.

An evidence of this is given by the fact that Tekfestival hosts every year the projection of important films, many of them having already been awarded prestigious prizes in other festivals, and some international, Italian or regional previews. The projection of meaningful and prestigious films during the festival is also due to a continuous work of research, which includes the participation in other important international festivals and having relationships with culture associations, production houses, authors and filmmakers. All this is meant to achieve precise aims: to offer a selection of the best international works to Italian and international visitors, who travel to Rome every year; to support Italian social documentary; to give visitors the possibility to meet authors; to widely promote documentary cinema producing a DVD of a film presented in the previous edition of the festival.

A peculiarity of the festival, which makes it even more special, is its heterogeneity: the festival, indeed, is a mix of different genres and subjects, and an evidence of this variety is also given by the number of sections that the festival includes. This year about 80 films representing the best of Italian and international social and independent cinema will be divided in the following sections: “Panorami” (Overview), which features 20 films and documentaries dealing with outstanding, topical subjects that have already been presented in some of the most important Italian and international festivals; “Zoom it”, i.e. the section dedicated to Italian emerging documentarists; “Rassegna di cinema delle donne” (A Review of Women’s Cinema), a section which is meant to make people discover the works realised by outstanding women in the field of contemporary cinema; “1989-2009: la memoria del presente è la visione”, (1989-2009: the memory of the present is vision), a section which, twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, is intended to analyse how the memory and perception of this epochal event has changed in time both in Italy and all over Europe; “Agender”, which provides a starting point for discussions about subjects like gender identity and sexual orientation; “Pericolosamente ad Est” (Dangerously at East), which includes films and documentary coming from East Europe; “Banda larga” (Wide Band), a section dedicated to the new generations who live and grow up in the era of globalisation and temporary employment, to their dreams and problems.

The festival hosts many special events, which enrich the programme of the festival and which convince many people to book a guest house in Rome: one of the most interesting events of this new edition is the exhibition of political and social bills realised by the draughtswoman Teresa Sdralevich, who has realised campaigns against accidents at work and violence against women and children, as well as bills for cultural events and cinema festivals.

Rome: Race for the Cure, 17th of May 2009

Since 2000 Rome has hosted “Race for the Cure”, a short, 5 km marathon which is mainly meant to raise funds for the prevention and the cure of breast cancer.

The marathon “Race for the Cure” was first held in 1982 in the United States, and was then exported to many other countries, like Italy: on the 17th of May Rome will host the 20th edition of the race, that has taken place for two years also in Bari and in Bologna (this year the marathon will be held in the two Italian cities on the 24th of May and on the 27th of September respectively). The event is a good mix of sport, entertainment and solidarity, which persuades every year a number of sportspeople, but not only them, to spend a low cost weekend in Rome: while the first edition which took place in Italy’s capital city attracted about 5,000 people, with the passing of time the event has grown, and last year it set the record of 37,000 participants. According to the organisers, this number is expected to increase in 2009, as this year the 10th edition of the race will be celebrated.

One of the reasons of the success of the event is the variety of spaces and happenings that it includes, which are meant to meet everyone’s needs and desires and to combine perfectly solidarity, discussions on important issues and entertaining. The ones who love sport, marathon in particular, will enjoy the race: professional runners will have the possibility to take part in a real competition (both individually and as part of a group), and to be awarded (prizes include awards for the first 10 classified men, the first ten classified women, the first 10 groups and the first 10 “pink ladies”, i.e. women who have faced or are fighting against breast cancer, and who will wear a pink t-shirt and cap), but also people who have not practised or who simply prefer to take a walk will participate in the event, taking part in a 2 km walk which takes place through some of the most beautiful areas of Rome. This is also a good chance for families to book a family hotel in Rome and spend a day outdoors in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and children will also have the possibility to have fun in a wide and equipped fun area.

If you wish to take part in the race book an apartment in Rome city centre: the start is set at 10:00 o’clock at the “Nando Martellini” Stadium, Terme di Caracalla, where many stalls and special spaces will be set up for those who prefer not to take part in the marathon: live music, stalls of the sponsors and much more. However, the event is mainly meant to raise funds for research and cure (participants in the marathon will pay at least a 10 euro contribution) and to promote prevention: early diagnosis, indeed, can increase the chance of survival up to 90%. To give a concrete help and signal, on the 16th of May a “Prevention Village” will be set up and here, giving priority to the most disadvantaged women, women will have the chance to undergo free breast examinations, echographies and mammographies.

Rome: Futurism Avant-garde – Avant-gardes, from 20th of February to 24th of May 2009

On the 20th of February, exactly 100 years after the publication of the Manifesto of Futurism in Le Figaro by Tommaso Marinetti, the exhibition “Futurism Avant-garde – Avant-gardes” has been opened in Rome.

The exhibition, which will be held at the Scuderie del Quirinale until the 24th of May (you still have few weeks time to book a cheap hotel in Rome and visit the exhibition), is considered as one of the most important international art events of the year, as an unmissable chance to learn something more about an art movement that marked the 20th century. The exhibitory space of the Scuderie del Quirinale, indeed, will host 77 works coming from museums and private collections from all over the world, which will help the visitors who will spend their holiday in Rome to understand how Futurism has upset the rules of art and has influenced many other art movements. The exhibition features several rare paintings and many masterpieces realised by some of the most important artists of the 20th century, which are now considered as classic, like Umberto Boccioni’s “La risata” and Carlo Carrà’s “I funerali dell’anarchico Galli”, from the Museum of Modern Art of New York, George Braque’s “Le grand nu” and Pablo Picasso’s “La femme assise dans un fauteuil” from the Centre Pompidou, Carlo Carrà’s “La stazione di Milano” and Gino Severini’s “Le voci della mia stanza” from the Staatsgalerie of Stuttgart, Umberto Boccioni’s “Volumi orizzontali” from Munich picture gallery.

The exhibition, which has already been held in Paris (from October 2008 to January 2009), and will take place also in London (from June to September 2009), highlighting the importance that this art movement has had all over Europe, is made special by an interesting exhibitory path, which characterises the three venues of the exhibition: works have been displayed with philological care, trying to reconstruct the futurist exhibition that took place in 1912 in Paris, at the Bernheim-Jeune gallery, an event that presented the futuristic philosophy to the world, highlighting the contrast between Futurism and pre-existing art rules, and which caused an outcry and contributed to the diffusion of the ideas of speed and dynamism, which are typical of Futurism.

The innovation brought by Futurism influenced also many other art movements, and the exhibition is meant to highlight how this avant-garde helped to reformulate the vocabulary of art, focusing on the connections between Futurism and Cubism, another important art movement of the 20th century (a section of the exhibition will be dedicated to cubist paintings), as well as between Futurism and other avant-gardes, like Russian Cubo-Futurism, British Vorticism and American Synchronism.

If you book a youth hostel in Rome and visit the exhibition, you will certainly be impressed by the originality and power of the works of Futurism, a movement which touched all artistic genres, but which through painting succeeded in expressing entirely its philosophy, a philosophy which fascinated generations and which has preserved its appeal to the present day. To make also younger generations discover Futurism, children from 3 to 11 years old will have the possibility to take part in special paths, featuring animated visit and art workshops.


Tickets: 10 euro, reduced tickets 7.50 euro

Rome: American Roadside Architecture from 27th of March to 3rd of May 2009

From the famous Route 66 to Kerouac’s On the Road, not forgetting many cult movies like Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider, American highways are become part of the public imagination and a symbol for travel and adventure.

Some of the features of American highways, like gas stations, diners and motels, are very familiar also for the people who have never been to the United States, and this is due above all to the great number of movies which have been set in these places. However, if these buildings are well-known by many people, this is due also to the creativity and imagination of the first “roadside entrepreneurs”, who built bizarre motels, gas stations and restaurants, and who vied each other to catch the driver’s attention and get them to stop. If you wish to see these peculiar buildings, which are now disappearing, but you do not have the possibility to travel throughout the United States, you can plan a budget holiday in Rome and visit the exhibition “American Roadside Architecture”, from the 27th of March to the 3rd of May at the H.C. Andersen Museum: you still have few weeks time to book a 1 star hotel in Rome and visit the exhibition, which includes 55 pictures realised by John Margolies, a photographer, architect, author of books, lecturer, expert and historian of architecture, who has travelled throughout the United States for about 30 years, looking for the most unusual and picturesque buildings.

From his pictures a very interesting image of America in the first half of the 20th century emerge: in that period, also because of the spread of cars, more streets and highways began to be built, while a new category of people, that of travellers, began to come into sight, and they had new requests: stopping and sleeping near the highway, refuelling and eating something. For this reason American highways began to host motels, restaurants and gas stations characterised by huge and bizarre-shaped signs, which were meant to catch the drivers’ attention: gigantic hot dog-, ice cream-shaped signs, or signs representing some of the symbols of the regions where these buildings arose, but in some cases the shapes of signs and buildings were simply born of the imagination of the new roadside entrepreneurs.

The Rome exhibition is divided into 3 sections: gas station, diners and lodging, and all the sections will amaze the visitors and will make them plunger into the past and discover a feature of American architecture which is not always taken into consideration, but which is very useful as it can tell us something more about American society.

The exhibition is an unmissable event for all those who have rented a holiday house in Rome also because it is not so easy to admire these picturesque buildings in loco, as they are gradually disappearing or are in decline: this is due to the great chains of restaurants and hotels which are replacing the old diners and motels, which were mainly family run, to the building of a new system of fast relief roads, but also to the removal of the old petrol pumps as a consequence of some laws for the environment safeguard.

Eurotech present today the new ACS-5125 PC/104 Plus MIL-Rated 25W Power Supply module

Eurotech announces the new 25W isolated PC/104 power supply for military ground vehicle and aircraft installed systems that meets the system requirements of military vehicle, aircraft, machine or vessel installations

Amaro (Italy), May 29, 2009 - Eurotech presents today the ACS-5125, a new MIL-rated PC/104 Plus power supply. The ACS-5125 is a 25W isolated module designed to meet the system requirements of military vehicle, aircraft, machine or vessel installations. The module supplies +5V @ 5A with overload protection and without any de-rating.

The ACS-5125 is compliant with EC low voltage directives and consists of a DC/DC converter and an optional EMC filter. The DC/DC converter meets the requirements for conducted emission and immunity of MIL-STD-461E (EMC performance) and of MIL-STD-810F (environmental performance). When the optional EMC filter is also mounted, the ACS-5125 additionally complies with MIL-STD-1275A/B/C & MIL-STD-704 (emission and immunity performance).

Additional features of the ACS-5125 DC/DC converter are well-controlled outputs with no overshoot and control functions such as voltage trim, remote sense and inhibit. It can also generate an over temperature warning signal (at 102°C) that gives user control over the temperature shutdown function of the converter via an I2C interface. The optional EMC filter adds protection against conducted susceptibilities, surges and spikes.
Resistance to high levels of shock and vibration are a result of the mechanical solutions adopted in this ruggedised PC/104-Plus footprint compliant module: these include the use of the PCB for heat dissipation, component selection and extensive use of SMD components.

In addition, the power supply construction allows for the EMI filter, DC/DC converter and the heat dissipating protection devices to be mounted on the top or on the bottom side of the board. This allows for the maximum configuration flexibility when integrating the ACS-5125 in a system and easily supports the use of structural heat sinking, enabling reliable temperature operation (-40 to +85 °C) without any active cooling.

With the technical innovations introduced in the 2009 new collection, i-gliti has has designed not only to athletes but also to the general public of enthusiasts and beginners who would like to experience this healthy sport. Protagonist of the i-gliti stand was the off-road skiroll that, associated to universal binding, allow to practise also on a white road both with the classical and the skating technique.

Great attention was aroused by the universal binding which makes the use of the product easier and allows, thanks to its technical characteristics, to achieve both techniques in absolute safety and full stability. This innovation can be used on any kind of skiroll, with a significant costs reduction.

Just from the universal binding comes the demand to set up a system for the rental of skirolls: a fun and cheap way to try this exciting sport in the open air. An idea that, togheter with the other i-gliti proposals, enjoyed not only to the Italian market but also to the German, Austrian, Dutch, Spanish and American market.
