A few nights ago I had a first glimpse at this year’s edition of the Ferrara Buskers Festival.
Many people around, as usual, and quite a number of street performers. All sort of performances, not just music, and even among musicians quite a range of instruments.We had a long walk around the city center, listening to something here, to something there.
At some point I heard a strange sound.
Well, the sound itself wasn’t strange at all but… weird… just misplaced, out of the context.
Street performers are constantly on the move, they grab their stuff and quickly change street, city, country… so it couldn’t possibly be a… oh damn…
Franz Ferdinand’s gig last night in Ferrara, and I didn’t miss the chance to see them live. I’ve liked their music since their first album, and the live performance didn’t disappoint me at all 
Two friends were with me, even if they didn’t know the band very well… hope they really had a good time as they said 
Ok, so were did I left you? Oh right, just mid-afternoon on Saturday. Later on, evening movies were good, both Always - Sunset on third street 2 (by Yamazaki Takashi) and Trivial Matters (by Pang Ho Cheung).
This morning we started with a 1958 movie form South Korea, A Flower in Hell, and left before it was over. I’m afraid its 50 years take their toll…
As the movie schedule is very tight this year, we had to choose if we wanted either to eat or to attend every event. I know Art is noble, but we settled for food all the same… just try to understand! We therefore skipped the 2.30pm movie and had a nice lunch, again at the Asian Wok…
And this time I have some food picture…
In the afternoon a nice and psychotic movie, In the pool, and after “dinner” the war epic The Assembly.
I wrote “dinner” because in fact we had three glasses of wine each, and a few bits of food… maybe that explains why we felt thirsty and a bit dizzy after the 8.00pm movie, and instead of going for the 10.15pm event we found ourselves in a pleasant conversation in the theater bar. Try to image two guys from Ferrara, a girl from Udine, a girl from Beijing, a guy from Villach and a girl from Klagenfurt, drinking wine/coke and chatting…
I’m now posting this, and we’re likely to go for the 00.15am movie, I’ll let you know
