Last year I had the pleasure to contribute to a book dedicated to David Cronenberg's magnus opus, published by Volumina. I wrote a short essay on one of my cinematic obsessions, eXistenZ, possibly the best movie ever about videogames. Now, the Film Festival of Estoril and Volumina are pleased to announce the new staging of multimedia exhibition CHROMOSOMES by David Cronenberg. Cronenberg will attend the opening on November, 10, taking a break from his latest project - he is currently working on the new film The Matarese Circle. Inside the Congress Center of Estoril, from 5 to 14 november, you can admire the images chosen and processed by David Cronenberg and the Volumina staff starting with original film frames from his most famous movies: The Fly, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Crash, eXistenZ, Spider, and the recent Eastern Promises. The exhibition, curated by Domenico De Gaetano is completed by two 10-minute videos with famous sequences from Cronenberg's movies and a bilingual catalogue (English and Italian). One room is entirely dedicated to a spectacular installation, RED CARS, Cronenberg's homage to the Ferrari brand, based on the artbook created in 2005 which uses rare archival footage.
