A film screening documenting #AltofestMalta 2018, a project that explored experimental sociality through contemporary live art. During Altofest, Maltese citizens hosted international artists in their houses, which then became venues that welcomed audiences to see diverse performances. The theme behind Altofest Malta 2018 was ‘Legendary People’.

altofest.net creates a unique opportunity for perceiving and living the relationship between citizens and the arts. The project deals with how art emerges from the community as a distinctive expression and becomes an instrument of social growth. A cultural project which inserts itself in the life of the city, directly involving its community, creates a new mythology where heroes are among its citizens. These heroes become ‘cultural heroes’, according to anthropologists, who influence the customs and traditions of the other citizens, and who bring innovation to the community while establishing a cultural identity.

This event is open to the public. Entrance is FREE.

Includes an introduction and Q&A with Anna Gesualdi and Giovanni Trono, creators of altofest.net
