AN-ICON - An-Iconology: History, Theory, and Practices of Environmental Images is a five- year research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (agreement number 834033). Led by the philosopher Prof. Andrea Pinotti, it investigates from a theoretical, historical, and operational point of view the identity of the environmental images that characterize extended reality media (virtual, augmented, and mixed). The project is hosted by the Department of Philosophy "Piero Martinetti" of the University of Milan.
FILMMAKER is a Milan-based association which has been promoting independent and experimental cinema since 1980, with a special focus on documentaries, experimental films and young Italian cinema through the Filmmaker Festival and its participation in MFN Milano Film Network.
