The Eyes on Music series of film documentaries is part of a larger project launched in 2018 by the Intercultural Institute of Comparative\u00a0Music Studies that involved training students and the promotion and\u00a0production of support activities in the field of visual and multimedia ethnomusicology. The purpose of this series is to encourage the\u00a0circulation of documentaries of ethnomusicological interest through\u00a0screenings, moments of reflection and meetings with the directors.
\nCoordinated by Marco Lutzu and Simone Tarsitani, the first edition,\u00a0to be held on Tuesday 19 November, will be divided into two parts.<\/p>\n
