Premiere - CURRY MIX, Cortometraggio 

Short Film - Digital Storytelling

IN ENGLISH BELOW

📆 LUNEDI' 20 MAGGIO 2024
🕝 17:00
📍 American Corner Trieste / Associazione Italo Americana FVG
Piazza Sant'Antonio Nuovo, 6 - Trieste - Italy
🆓 INGRESSO LIBERO
🗣️ CORTOMETRAGGIO in LINGUA ITALIANA




CURRY MIX - Un cortometraggio che esplora i complessi temi della migrazione, degli disaccordi generazionale e dell'integrazione tramite la gastronomia etnica.

Il Digital Storytelling Project è stato reso possibile grazie al sostegno dell'Ambasciata USA in Italia in collaborazione con Young For Fun, American Corner Trieste, Associazione Italo Americana FVG, 

Il cortometraggio Curry Mix è frutto del lavoro del Digital Storytelling Workshop Team, composto da 10 studenti delle Università degli studi di Trieste e Udine, con il coordinamento di Susanne Seghayer e la supervisione della Prof.ssa Sergia Adamo, Alunno Fulbright.

Curry Mix è un cortometraggio che propone di adottare la prospettiva della seconda generazione di immigrati come mezzo per riflette sul tema delle migrazioni.


Il cortometraggio è ambientato a Trieste nel 2024 e segue la vicenda di una famiglia immigrata dal Bangladesh. Per mantenersi finanziariamente, la famiglia gestisce un piccolo negozio alimentare dove vende il cibo e i prodotti etnici importati dal proprio paese di provenienza. L'attività però non sembra funzionare adeguatamente: le poche entrate non permettono alla famiglia di condurre una vita dignitosa.

Assieme ai problemi finanziari, emerge in casa anche un forte divario generazionale dettato dalle tensioni che nascono quando si è costretti a vivere tra due mondi così diversi tra loro. Spetterà infine al figlio Hasan trovare una soluzione originale che possa conciliare le aspettative del padre con le sue aspirazioni.

Un ringraziamento a Irin Pavin Khan, del negozio Curry Mix, via Torre Bianca 22/B, Trieste, e alla sua famiglia.

Premiere - CURRY MIX, Short Film - Digital Storytelling

🆓 FREE ENTRY

🗣️ SHORT FILM in ITALIAN

CURRY MIX - A short film that explores the complex themes of migration, generational disagreements and integration through ethnic gastronomy.

The Digital Storytelling Project was made possible thanks to the support of the US Embassy in Italy in collaboration with Young For Fun, American Corner Trieste, Associazione Italo-Americana FVG-

The short film Curry Mix is the result of the work of the Digital Storytelling Workshop Team, made up of 10 students from the Universities of Trieste and Udine, with the coordination of Susanne Seghayer and the supervision of Prof. Sergia Adamo, Fulbright Alumnus.

Curry Mix is a short film that proposes to adopt the perspective of the second generation of immigrants as a means to reflect on the topic of migration.

The film is set in Trieste in 2024 and follows the story of a family of immigrants from Bangladesh. To support themselves financially, the family runs a small grocery store where they sell ethnic food and products imported from their home country. However, the business does not seem to function properly: their income does not allow them to lead a dignified life.

Along with financial problems, a strong generational gap also emerges at home dictated by the tensions that arise when one is forced to live between two vastly different worlds. Ultimately it will be up to Hasan, the son, to find an original solution that can reconcile his father's expectations with his aspirations.

Thanks to Irin Pavin Khan, of the Curry Mix shop, via Torre Bianca 22 / B, Trieste, and to her family.

TESOL ITALY TRIESTE Local Group

cordially invites you to the Free Workshop:


From Disinformation to Digital Tools for Learning and Civic Engagement

We’re all spending more time online, and teens especially. A 2022 Pew research study found that 80% of teens report being on the internet frequently or “almost constantly.” How can educators help teens navigate the online world so that digital sources become positive tools for learning and civic engagement, rather than dangerous suppliers of misinformation and disinformation? This workshop will look at the state of teen digital literacy, and offer pedagogical tools and curriculum to help students become positively engaged in digital spaces.

hosted by:
