DIEGO CARPITELLA SCHOLARSHIP 2025
Competition for a research scholarship in memory of Diego Carpitella
to support the creation of an audiovisual product of ethnomusicological interest
Application deadline: 15 April 2025
As part of the Eyes on Music: Visual Ethnomusicology Projects initiative, the Intercultural Institute of Comparative
Music Studies (IISMC), has set up a research scholarship in memory of Diego Carpitella to support the creation
of an audiovisual product of ethnomusicological interest. This call for applications is addressed to young Italian
and international researchers with experience in the field of audiovisual ethnomusicology (preferably under the age
of 40 on the day of the deadline), who present an original and unpublished project for the creation of an audiovisual
product.
The value of the scholarship is 5,000 euros (before tax).
To participate in the selection process, candidates must send the application form (downloadable online from
the Fondazione Giorgio Cini website), completed in every section and with all the relevant attachments, to the
Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies (musica.comparata@cini.it) by 15 April 2025.
Applications will be examined by a panel of experts who will select the scholarship winner by 15 May 2025.
The panel will be composed of three members appointed by the IISMC. The panel reserves the right not to award
the scholarship. The IISMC secretary’s office will inform all candidates via email about the outcome of the selection
process and the name of the winner will be published on Fondazione Giorgio Cini website.
The scholarship winner will commit to making the audiovisual product within one year of being awarded the
scholarship. Work in progress will be periodically monitored in a way to be agreed upon with the project advisory
committee. IISMC will organise a public screening in Venice of the finished audiovisual product.
A copy of the final product and of the footage collected during the production will be kept in the IISMC
archive, to be used for research and other non-for-profit purposes.
IISMC reserves the right of first refusal for the publication of the film.
The winner of Carpitella Scholarship must ensure ownership and proper licensing of the copyright of all original
and archival materials of the video. All archival footage must be properly attributed.
All persons appearing in the original materials must provide informed consent to the filming and to the
distribution of the film.
All responsibility and legal liability in relation to copyright law infringements rest solely upon the filmmaker.
