  1. Hi people, I'm happy to present the new entry on the Festivals of Music on movies... Orvieto is a small city in the middle of Italy and Orvieto MusicalCinema is a new project based on a simple but exciting cultural initiative: a Festival to present the marriage between music and cinema in an international perspective, through works for the big screen from the past to the present day. The Festival - organized by the Movie&Music Association and the Municipality of Orvieto, with the collaboration of the Arturo Toscanini Foundation - will be an annual event, with a competitive section and major screenings complemented by collateral events of great importance. In the spirit of Orvieto?s long cultural associations and active support of the performing arts, as well as in celebration of its great native-born composer and conductor Luigi Mancinelli, a commission of distinguished experts will present the Mancinelli Prize to the outstanding entries in three categories: to the film that best unites visual images and sound, to the artist whose work during the year in progress displays the greatest talent, and to the composers and performers who have contributed most notably to the cinema through their music. In addition to promoting the union of two such popular mediums as cinema and music, the Orvieto Festival will provide an opportunity for the study of musical cinema, for cultural enrichment and of course for entertainment, as well as a forum for an exchange of ideas between major artists from around the world and members of the public. The programme will include concerts of movie soundtrack music and singing stars of the big screen, as well as musical meetings and workshops given by some of the finest composers from around the world - events that will extend beyond the period of the Festival to create a permanent cultural project. It will also present fascinating retrospectives of genres ranging from the musical to opera, and will serve as a showcase for recently restored film classics. The Festival will be produced under the artistic guidance of some of the great names of European cinema and music and by qualified experts. In keeping with the traditions of a city renowned for its historic beauty and cultural energy, and in tune with the City authorities, Orvieto MusicalCinema plans to represent Entertainment at its best, highlighting the appeal of a genre in which music and visual images work together to create a magic that goes straight to the heart of the public. It is, therefore, our pleasure to wish all visitors to the Festival: 'Good Viewing?and Good Listening?' Bye/Ciao Eastwood movieandmusic@email.it
